🏆 Honorary Mention · Prix Ars Electronica 2009
In 2009, the Prix Ars Electronica jury recognised “Canchas. spontaneous soccer fields.” by www.canchas.org (Digital Communities) with a Honorary Mention.
“Canchas” is an anthropological, social and cultural project combining multimedia and local stories to describe “spontaneous soccer fields and their human side” around the world. It is an open and international project to find a new medium of meeting and exchange.
About www.canchas.org
The Canchas project was started in 2004 by Andreas Matt and Gaston Silberman, sharing the same enthusiasm about humans being connected through one theme (i.e. football) and stories around common topics (i.e. spontaneous football fields) all around the world.
