Köken Ergun
The Flag [09:01, TR, 2006] & I, Soldier [07:14, TR, 2005]

jury statement:
Köken Ergun makes a very direct but discrete visualisation of an event, an artistic commentary to the specific political context of Turkey which becomes a universal commentary on ultranationalism. His visual strategy enables a new reading of the surviving imagery of 20th century state rituals.

Monkey_Party
Group project by: Jérôme Blanquet, Jean-François Blanquet & Roussel Florent

jury statement:
This interactive project introduces the specific usage of everyday devices in creating a dialogue between our perception of technology and expectations that are imposed by this technology. Its an intuitive stroll through what seems to be an endless stream of questions, options, choices and experiences.

Special Mention

Astrid Rieger
Mammal [07:25, DE, 2007]

jury statement:
It succeeds in depicting a psychological conflict, that arises from the symbiotic relationship from a son to his mother, which is visualised through shifts in between symbolic registers and imaginary fields in an organic flow, backed up by excellent sound design.
