VIDEOART & EXPERIMENTAL AUDIO-VISUAL ART CALL
FOR MADATAC & TRANSFERA TV:
CYBORGS AND AUDIOVISUAL ART FOR THE END OF THE TIMES



Spain and International/ It is left open without restrictions a call to
select, by means of a criteria in which will be valued particularly the
quality, the experimentation, the innovation and the risk, the creations of
all those audio-visual artists who wish that their works are promoted and
broadcast through the independent program Transfera and MADATAC04.
The content of the TV program Transfera is exclusively dedicated to divulge
Video Art and Audio Visual Art in all its modalities (any processes of
image-sound interaction, without exclusion of the experimental cinema),
with the aim to disclose to the great public a view of the consolidated
video artists and offer a platform for all those emergent video artists
with a future projection who contribute with renewing proposals, avoid
conventional visual language and does not find their place in other mass
media spaces.
Due to the difficult challenge that supposes to mantaian a project of this
spread, destined essentially to compensate the well-known mediatic absence,
 the relation with the artists will be based on a principle of promotion
and visibility, a guideline directed to strengthen the sustainability of
the program.
However, all the received material will enter, unless the authors express
the contrary, in the selection for the IV Edition of MADATAC, the
Contemporary Audio-Visual & New Media Arts Festival, that Transfera
