"The International Festival of New Technologies, Art and Communication: 
Ciber at RT Bilbao 2004 is preparing its next edition which, under the heading 
"Challenges for a Ubiquitous Identity," will take place in the city of 
Bilbao from Friday 23rd to Friday 30th of April. Since the beginning, in 
1995, the main aim of this festival has been to deal with the essential 
elements in artistic production through digital media and to reflect on the 
changes society undergoes as a consequence of the presence of technological 
resources, processes and mediations. Ciber at RT Bilbao 2004 is a 
multidisciplinary festival, as it becomes obvious from the great variety of 
programmed activities in its various sections: Net-Art, Off-line Multimedia 
Projects, International Conference, Computer Animation, Minimisation and 
Interactive Installations."

"Ciber at RT Bilbao 2004 will bring new proposals and sections with the aim of 
updating the contents in keeping with the artistic-scientific development. 
Our objectives are: to be a world-wide showcase for the art of the new 
media; to take on the multiplicity of media, systems, tools, medium, forms 
and modes, which are present in the context of contemporary creation and 
research all over the world; to serve as a springboard for the sectors 
involved; to provide a hedge for the creators who apply the new 
technologies in their works and to help to spread and show their works of 
art."
