EDITORIAL
Wim van der Plas
The number of ISEA members is growing steadily. This is good news,
although it must be said that most new members are associate members. This
fact has financial implications for us i.e. no money comes in from as-
sociate members, but we have to send out more Newsletters (all over the
world). Insofar as this occurs electronically, there is no big problem
but since many members are not on Email yet, they receive a hard copy
sent via airmail.
Recently we have been trying to obtain a Dutch grant subsidy, as ISEA
headquarters are located in Holland. Sad to relate, the subsidy was
refused. The refusal was justified by the following: ISEA is international
and not a Dutch affair, and ISEA is promoting technology rather than art!
How misunderstood can one get?
Our next move will be to try and find some sponsorship. We urge all our
members to suggest ways to establish ISEA a more professional footing. It
has been possible to find the funding for all three symposia so far (and
we do not have to worry about the next one either), but it seems much more
difficult to find material support for what is the goal of the symposia
i.e. creating a permanent structure for communication and cooperation
within the electronic arts.
Anyway, we thank all the regular members that support us financially, and
we hope all associate members will become regular members in due course.
Some regular members have applied for membership and are receiving the
Newsletter, but haven't bothered to pay. Shame on you! Good news for those
people: you can now pay with your VISA card.
Rectification
In the last Newsletter (#14), the address of ISEA94 (Helsinki) was men-
tioned. However, by mistake it was announced as the Fourth International
Symposium on Electronic Art. Of course '94 is the Fifth. The Fourth is
taking place next November in Minneapolis.

11th WORLD WIDE VIDEO FESTIVAL
Erik Quint
19 - 25 April 1993, The Hague, The Netherlands.
The aim of the festival is to make the international developments acces-
sible in the field of electronic media art. At the same time, the festival
serves as an international meeting place for artists, producers, distribu-
tors and curators working in electronic media art.
As always, the programme consists of an international selection of recent
video tapes, multimedia installations and special (subsidiary) programmes.
Other activities include the video market and the academy day. Further
more, the new Kijkhuis has the use of a large (about fifty square metres)
priva-lite screening window which will allow a large part of the Spui to
become an open air theatre.
Video Tapes
An international selection of one hundred video tapes, as expected
extremely diverse thematically and aestheticaly, together with the
installations form the heart of the festival.
Special Programmes
-Documentary and electronic media arts.
A review of fifteen years of documentaries on electronic media art,
including installations. A number of the accompanying lectures considers
the (im)possibility of the audiovisual registration of electronic media
art.
-Demontage: film/video, appropriation/recycling.
This is a co-production with IVAM, the museum for modern art in Valencia.
It is structured around the theme Found Footage; the re-use of audio
visual material in new productions.
Video Market
April 22 and 23, 1993, 14.00-19.00 hours
Offers producers, distributors, magazine editors, art institutes and art
schools the opportunity to present themselves and their products.
The Video Market will feature extensive viewing facilities, stands for
displaying brochures and access to telephone and fax facilities for all
participants. Also, each participant will have an advertisement in the
festival catalogue. The cost of participating in the video market is
Hfl.500 (approx. US$ 300).

ARACHNET ELECTRONIC JOURNAL OF VIRTUAL CULTURE
Special issue: VIRTUAL CULTURE AND LAW
The Arachnet Electronic Journal of Virtual Culture (EJVC) announces a call
for papers for a special issue on Virtual Culture and Law, to be published
in June 1993.
Virtual culture is computer-mediated human experience, behavior, thought,
meaning, action, or interaction, such as electronic mail, conferences, and
journals; information distribution and retrieval; the construction and
visualization of images, representations, or models of reality or worlds;
and global connectivity.
The Arachnet Electronic Journal on Virtual Culture is a refereed journal
whose purpose is to foster, encourage, advance, and communicate scholarly
thought, (including analysis, evaluation, and research) in multiple
disciplines about virtual culture.
Papers for the special issue may address any aspect of the intersection of
virtual culture and law, from the practical (such as copyright and
liability issues) to the theoretical (the law and virtual communities;
computer-mediated communication and the future of law.)
For more information concerning style and form of the article, contact
ISEA.
The deadline for the June 1993 special issue is May 1, 1993.
All submissions must be by electronic mail to:
James Milles, Special Issue Editor, EJVC Issue on Virtual Culture and Law

PHSColograms - digital 3D hardcopy
Stephan Meyers
(Art)n was founded in 1983 by Director, Ellen Sandor.
(Art)n is a collective of artists, scientists, mathematicians and computer
talents who pioneered Virtual Photography with their patented invention of
the Stealth Negative PHSCologram* (pronounced skol%o%gram). The group's
name was chosen to indicate the unlimited potential for collaboration
between the arts, sciences, and cutting-edge visual technologies.
Unlike traditional research environments, (Art)n develops technology for
the sake of artistic exploration and innovative design.
(Art)n's patented technology was inspired by the process-oriented works of
Man Ray, Moholy-Nagy and Duchamp. Their unique invention is the only
autostereographic three-dimensional hard copy medium in the world that is
entirely computer generated. PHSColograms are created from digital
imagery with striking true-to-life colors in the highest resolution. In
their finished stage, they are displayed in light boxes. An observer does
not have to stand at certain angles or wear special glasses to see the
images. PHSColograms also have some movement. As an observer passes by,
the image seems to follow. They are often described as floating
sculptures or three-dimensional photographs.
(Art)n is presently working on commercializing their technology for CAD,
CAID, Advertising, Entertainment, Fine Arts, Medical, and Scientific
Visualization markets. Other plans include downsizing the process for
desktop users.
