WORK CATEGORIES


1) Electro-Acoustic Music: Fixed Media (Concert or BYTE Gallery)


The Electro-Acoustic Music category is for fixed works of music/sound 
art. These works should be electronically/digitally conceived and 
produced. In other words, these should not be recordings of vocal or 
instrumental acoustic compositions. It is certainly acceptable, however, 
that works may be derived from acoustic sound sources. Stereo or 
multichannel (5.1, Quad, or Double Diamond 8(Front:L,C,R;Side:L,R; Rear: 
L,C,R) is acceptable for concert presentation, although a stereo mix 
should be available for BYTE Gallery works.


2) Electro-Acoustic Music: With Performer(s) (Concert only)


The Electro-Acoustic Music category is for works of music/sound art that 
involve a live performance element, including interactive works.


3) Videomusic (Concert or BYTE Gallery)


The Videomusic category is for works that explore non-narrative 
abstraction with equal emphasis on electro-acoustic music/sound art and 
moving images. Stereo or multichannel (5.1, Quad, or Double Diamond 
8(Front:L,C,R;Side:L,R; Rear: L,C,R) is acceptable for concert 
presentation, although a stereo mix should be available for BYTE Gallery 
works.


4) Dramatic Video (BYTE Gallery only)


The Dramatic Video category is a theatrical work of short video/film 
where digital technology is an essential part of the creative process. 
The video should be accompanied by stereo audio, unless it is 
intentionally silent. If the work includes sound, it must be stereo.


5) Animation (Concert or BYTE Gallery)


The Animation category is for video works that explore non-narrative 
abstraction with primary emphasis on moving images. Works may or may not 
include sound. Stereo or multichannel (5.1, Quad, or Double Diamond 
8(Front:L,C,R;Side:L,R; Rear: L,C,R) is acceptable for concert 
presentation, although a stereo mix should be available for BYTE Gallery 
works.

The Digital Print/Still Image category is for fixed/still artworks where 
digital technology is an essential part of the creative process.

installation works should submit an abstract along with supporting 
imagery, diagrams or footage of the installation. Artists will be 
required to provide all resources: computers, speakers, etc.


8) Late-Night Club Electro Music (Concert only)


This category allows for electronic/computer/techno/electronica, etc., 
music that explores hybrid forms, intended for bar/club venues. DJ set, 
jam band, songwriters, jazz soloist with a machine counterpart, etc., as 
long as the electronic part is significant and relevant, works in this 
category are welcome.
