BACKGROUND
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 the electronic arts. In 1990 this network took shape as an association, founded in The Netherlands, called the Inter-Society for the Electronic Arts (ISEA).
In 2006 the Inter-Society for the Electronic Arts was discontinued as a membership organization and was replaced with the ISEA International Foundation. In 2009 a new operational base ISEA Headquarters will be established at the University of Brighton.
The aims of ISEA International and of the ISEA Symposia are:
- Creation of a structured approach towards the problems and potentials of electronic arts
- Promotion of communication between organizations and individuals and promotion of interdisciplinarity and cross-cultural communication / cooperation between the arts and the fields of technology, science, education, and industry.
- Research, present and exhibit work related to the ISEA mission.
Submissions will be accepted from:
Category 1: Educational Institutions (Universities, Art schools, Museums etc.); Artistic, Cultural or Scientific Organizations.
Category 2*: Congress organizing bureaus;
Category 3**: Umbrella organizations created for the purpose of hosting an ISEA Symposium.
*Category 2 applicants must be able to demonstrate evidence of organizing earlier, comparable and successful events.
**Category 3 applicants must show evidence of support and thus prove the feasibility of their financial plan.
