Prix Argos / Argos Award - CNRS/UNESCO
 homepage prix argos

This is awarded to a web site for its originality and user-friendliness, the unpredictability of the information and encounters which it offers, and its concern for inaugurating trans-continental dialogue and create elective affinities on the web.

In October 1996, "Delirium's Web Site - Enlightenment, Madness and Illusion" received "The Lewis Carroll - Argos Prize" (information in French), given by the CNRS (National Center of Scientific Research in France) and organized by the International Scientific Audiovisual Conference - Image and Science and the UNESCO's International Film, Television and Audiovisual Communication Concil.

The award was presented in Paris with an original sculpture made by Federica Matta during the XIIIes Rencontres Internationales Image et Science.
