New Technological Art Award 2012 is an international art competition by
the Liedts-Meesen Foundation.

In 2012, the Liedts-Meesen Foundation organizes Update_4 in the
framework of the project Zebrastraat, following the first three Update
biennials.

Update is a Biennial of interactive installations, coupled with the New
Technological Art Award 2012, an international competition by the
Liedts-Meesen with work from 20 artists, selected by an international
jury from over 300 entries. During Update, work by the winners of the
previous editions, Julien Maire, Nick Ervinck, Julien Gachadoat and Im
Go Eun will also be shown.

The exhibition is substantively broadened with a symposium that will
take place from 15 to 17 November. During three days, artists and
theoreticians are invited to reflect on contemporary art in relation to
new media and technology, both with private and public moments. The
traditional catalog accompanying the Update Award and exhibitions will
be enriched with texts and the proceedings of the discussions in this
colloquium. The ceremonies of the jury award and the public award will
be held on 18 November. The winners will be announced at the end of
Update_4.
