To encourage artistic innovations in the intersection of art and technology, WebSining introduces a new category to the Digital Art Contest, Software Art. Also, WebSining encourages the use of free software and non-proprietary file formats for creating and running the entries. All entries must articulate the theme of WebSining 2007: “CONTESTING TRADITIONS.”

Categories:

• Still Digital Image: A digital image is a representation of a two-dimensional image as a finite set of digital values called picture elements or pixels. Digital images may be created by a variety of input devices and techniques, such as digital cameras, scanners, coordinate measuring machines, seismographic profiling, airborne radar, GPS controllers, etc. Digital images may also be synthesized from non-image data such as mathematical functions. Suitable submission formats are: JPEG, GIF, PNG at 72-96dpi and at least 1024×768ppi screen resolutions.

• Digital Animation: In a digital animation, moving images are created via the use of computers as opposed to traditional cel animation where each frame is drawn by hand. Digital animation may be created by means of 3D computer graphics or 2D computer graphics, and may be created for output on computer, or another medium such as video or film. Animation created via computers combines vector graphics with programmed movement. Suitable submission formats must be web-browser viewable such as: Open-source Flash (FLV), OGG video, Flash Movie, Director Shockwave, QuickTime AVI, Java applet, and others. Animation sequence must be within 30 seconds only. A storyboard (in JPEG, GIF, or PNG at 72-96dpi and at least 1024×768ppi screen resolutions) must accompany the entries.

• Software Art: Software art is the confluence of two very distinct realms: “software” and “art.” Software art is an art form that uses instruction code, algorithms or rules as its medium. Software art may be written in C, Java, hypertext markup language, or other programming or scripting languages, and its aesthetic concerns may also be drawn from characteristics of software. Suitable formats are: Java applet, executable, HTML, ascii, and others. Source code must be submitted with the entries.

Please note that the sending of malicious code is punishable under the Electronic Commerce Act (RA 8792).
