ISEA 2004 - 12th International Symposium on Electronic Arts
August 14th - 22nd, 2004
Tallin: Wearable experience - Stockholm: Networked experience -
Helsinki: Wireless experience
New media meets art, science, research, and popular culture at the leading
international symposium held for the 12th time: ISEA2004 in Stockholm – Tallinn
– Helsinki. For the first time an event of this scale is being organised
between three cities in three countries. ISEA has previously taken place in
Utrecht, Groningen, Sydney, Minneapolis, Helsinki, Montréal, Rotterdam,
Chicago, Liverpool-Manchester, Paris, and Nagoya.
In the three Baltic cities international participants and local audiences
attend thematic conferences, exhibitions, live performances, screenings,
satellite events, concerts and clubs. Many events are also interfaced via
television, radio, broadband Internet, and mobile networks making them
available to the widest possible audience.
ISEA2004 kicks off in Helsinki, Finland with a pre-event on electronic music,
digital sound technology, and sound art in collaboration with Koneisto, the
largest festival of electronic music in Northern Europe. Both Koneisto festival
and ISEA2004 pre-event participants board a cruiser ferry, enjoying electronic
music performances and clubs. The electrified ferry travels to IseStockholm,
Sweden, for the main launch of ISEA2004. From Stockholm the event continues by
sea to Tallinn, Estonia, connecting the Nordic with emerging Baltic new media
cultural scenes. ISEA2004 culminates back in Helsinki.
ISEA2004 will break new ground for new media culture, arts, and research. The
event travels through new waters as a physical, critical, and creative
experience. We invite you to propose, to participate, to become part of a new
floating point in the process of creative new media culture.
Tapio Mäkelä
ISEA2004 programme chair, m-cult, Helsinki
We are currently inviting proposals for projects and papers for the
exhibitions, conferences and associated programs during ISEA2004. Projects
might include but not be limited to: workshops; installations, performances or
events in public spaces; works for exhibition in a gallery; live performance;
interfaced screenings; games or shared environments; projects which encourage
remote participation - etc.
Our over all aim for ISEA2004 is to create an event which is thematically and
critically coherent and provides new insight, so we really encourage you to
submit proposals which engage in very direct ways with the themes for the
event. We are also interested in work and ideas which explore the cultural and
social aspects rather than technological determinants of new media art and
cultural production.
Please note that ISEA2004 is a forum for artistic, academic, and culturally or
socially relevant work that has not previously been presented in international
forums (you may have showed/presented it in your local context).
All submissions are done via our website using a web form and stored into a
database. This procedure allows us to have the proposals reviewed by
International Programme Committee (IPC) members. When you make a submission, it
is recommended to that you choose a theme/city/genre.
All queries are to be made via the main office until your project has been
selected into the programme. Once accepted into the programme, you are given a
local contact e-mail.
All samples of your work must be submitted in a digital format, including sound
and video. We accept existing web sites as support material, but if they are
not operational at the time of review, the proposal is rejected. Unless we
specifically request posted support material, they will not be accepted nor
returned. We hope you understand our policy, which in the end guarantees that
all work and support material are reviewed by the geographically diverse
programme committee. We will also not handle submissions via e-mail: only
proposals submitted through the web interface http://www.isea2004.net
are valid.
- Socially, critically and ecologically engaging work
- Networked projects that connect several sites
- Projects that bring the creative media to the streets
- Projects that are worn on or inside people

Call For Performance Art Documents: "Performance Art In Context,‰ Aug. 25 deadline.
Deadline: August 25, 2003; Source: Kenny McBride
Performance Art In Context
Dartington Art Gallery, Uk 3 - 5 October 2003
Curator: Kenny Mcbride
As an approach to curation the chronotope is applied as a methodology that seeks not only to highlight the dialogic nature of documents within the artist's own time-space - i.e. by making us audience to performances that happen in other places while giving us access to audiences who are not physically present - but also in how such documents might link content and context in an overall production of artistic meaning.
According to Mikhail Bakhtin the chronotope functions "as the primary means for materialising time in space", that it "emerges as a centre for concretising representation". Using the example of biography and autobiography he says, "it is precisely under the conditions of this real-life chronotope, in which one's own or another's life is laid bare (that is, made public), that the limits of a human image and the life it leads are illuminated in all their specificity." Within the context of ancient history we can understand the chronotope to be best manifest within the public square, the agora , where "the autobiographical and biographical self-consciousness of an individual and his life was first laid bare and shaped in the public square. It was a remarkable chronotope, in which all the most elevated categories, from that of the state to that of revealed truth, were realised concretely and fully incarnated, made visible and given a face. And in this concrete and as it were all-encompassing chronotope, the laying bare and examination of a citizen's whole life was accomplished, and received its public and civic stamp of approval." quoted from M.M.Bakhtin The Dialogic Imagination
PERFORMANCE ART IN CONTEXT is an attempt at making these links visible through an installated exhibition in Dartington Art Gallery, 3rd-5th October 2003, and will aim at making visible a historical poetics of performance art

ISEA IS NOW ACCEPTING BIDS TO HOST ISEA2006
*MISSION*
The series of symposia known as the International Symposium on
Electronic Art was initiated in 1988 to create and maintain an
international network of organizations and individuals active in the
field of electronic arts. In 1990 this network took shape as an
association, founded in The Netherlands, called the Inter-Society for
the Electronic Arts (ISEA).
ISEA was established to oversee the continuance of the symposia and each
symposium promotes the aims and objectives of the Inter-Society: the
event and the society are therefore mutually supportive. Both ISEA and
the Symposium are dedicated to the interdisciplinary and cross-cultural
communication/cooperation between the arts and the fields of technology,
science, education, and industry. Beyond its integral support of the
symposium ISEA also realizes its mission by supporting other events,
developing partnerships, implementing culturally diverse initiatives, as
well as through publishing and archiving. ISEA is committed to
collaboration, membership participation, and the creation of new work.
The aims of the Inter-Society and of the ISEA symposia are
- the promotion of communication between organizations and individuals
active in the field of the electronic arts
- the creation of a structured approach towards the problems and
potentials of electronic art.
- the promotion of interdisciplinary and cross-cultural
communication/cooperation between the arts and the fields of technology,
science, education, and industry.
- research, presentation and exhibition of work related to ISEA’s mission.
