2,195 works from 62 countries were entered this year in the 15th
edition of the most important Digital Arts competition with the
richest tradition around the world.

The scope of the works entered in 2001 ranges from contemporary sound
creations, high end special effects in film, interactive
installations and robotic applications all the way to sophisticated,
future-oriented Internet applications not only from the field of art,
but also from research, science and entertainment.
"Looking at the 15-year development of the Prix Ars Electronica,
particularly in terms of possible future perspectives, the Prix Ars
Electronica has the potential to become the Nobel prize of the
digital age," says ORF Director of Information Dr. Hannes
Leopoldseder, co-founder of the Ars Electronica, whose original idea
resulted in the inception of the Prix Ars Electronica in 1987.

Taking cues and production practices culled from his collaboration
with Tetsu Inoue on the compact disc active/freeze (12k1009) and his
recent compilation appearances on Ritornell and Intransitive
Recordings, among others,  occur is a work of non-repetition and
subdued melodic passages composed almost entirely by granular
synthesis algorithms.

Initially inspired by the often quiet urban sounds outside of his
studio in Brooklyn, New York, the concept behind occur grew to become
pieces about all things brief-glimpses, things that come and then are
gone. These are singular occurances in time, like the passing of a
car or the blinking off of a street light at night. The brittle and
sporadic granular tones crunch and crumble about the stereo field
creating an implied urban soundscape.

This is the first solo cd on 12k from Taylor Deupree since the
minimal rhythmics of 1998's  comma, (12k1003). Part one of a two part
series, occur is to be followed up within a year by its polar
opposite entitled stil., a work of intense repetition, a movment
towards implied stillness. Deupree is also in the progress of
creating photographic diptychs of occur and stil. for a project to be
completed in 2002.
