ELECTRONAUTS 2013 / The Nominees & The Winners
The history of
“Electronauts” goes back to 2005, when well-known Georgian producer and anchor,
Sergi Gvarjaladze, filmed 52 minute documentary on contemporary Georgian
artists where he showcased the anomaly of how new generation of Georgian
electronic artists emerged during the electricity crisis of 1990-ies. The film
greatly resonated with local society and especially with growing list of
digital artists. The annual “Electronauts” awards was launched
in 2007 that awarded Georgian artists in 9 different categories, for the
content created during previous 12 months.
Six “Electronauts” awards have taken place since. Awards have
stimulated many young artists to be more creative and productive: while there
were only 15 participants for the first “Electronauts”, 2013 this figure has
grown to 75. Every year new categories have been added and since 2010 awards
has an international jury. “Electronauts” has been working closely with all
major TV channels and has attracted over 20 different partners and sponsors. To
expand the exposure of local artists and the impact of our activities to a
wider public and beyond annual awards, the Foundation “Electronauts” was formed
in 2011. The mission of the foundation is to cultivate the understanding and
appreciation of modern forms of electronic arts while exploring its creative
and cultural potential. The Foundation accomplishes this mission through
programs and activities that engage local artists and cultural community, as
well as the general public. The Foundation works year-round and in addition to
annual awards, manages educational and media initiatives, conducts workshops,
take part in festivals and collaborate with other organizations to achieve
common goals.
