CALL FOR PROPOSALS TO SPONSOR ISEA HEADQUARTERS

April 5, 2005

The Inter-Society for the Electronic Arts (ISEA) requests expressions of interest from institutions with an interest in sponsoring and supporting its Headquarters activities.

The Inter-Society for the Electronic Arts (ISEA) is an international nonprofit organization fostering interdisciplinary academic discourse and exchange among culturally diverse organizations and individuals working with art, science and emerging technologies. ISEA publishes a newsletter; hosts an online archive and exchange environment and oversees the International Symposium on Electronic Art, a regular gathering of the international art, science and technology community.

The Board and membership of ISEA have always been international, bringing together individuals and organizations from around the world. ISEA was founded in the Netherlands in 1990 and was hosted there until 1996, when it moved to Headquarters in Montréal, Quebec, Canada. From 2001 it has again been hosted in the Netherlands.

As an international body, ISEA seeks to forge and develop new relationships and partnerships. ISEA is seeking to relocate Headquarters in 2005 and to work with a new host organisation or institution to create a stable base from which to conduct its activities. We seek an institutional host committed to the values and ethos of ISEA.

Relocation of ISEA Headquarters offers an exciting opportunity for a host organisation or institution to be involved in the future of the Inter-Society. ISEA is one of the first truly international organisations to support the development of art, science and technology. The Symposia remains as one of the most dynamic and lively events on the art and technology calendar and as an organisation ISEA continues to grow through its network of international artists, academics, curators and supporters.

For information and reference the overview of the Roles of the HQ and the ISEA Board is posted on the ISEA website at: http://www.isea-web.org/eng/hq_tasks.html.

Please send all letters of interest to ISEA by EMAIL before April 30, 2005.
