Background

The series of symposia known as the International Symposium on Electronic Art was initiated in 1988 in order to support the founding and maintenance of an international network of organizations and individuals active in the field of the electronic arts. This network has taken the shape of an association, founded in 1990 in The Netherlands, called the Inter-Society for the Electronic Arts (ISEA).

The Inter-Society has as part of its mandate to oversee the organization of the symposia in each selected city. It assures the continuity of symposia identity and quality, and works closely with the Host Organization.The symposia have been held as both a biennial and annual event. In 1998, the symposium returned to the biennial format.
