2. GENERAL CONDITIONS

The Host Organization is the producer of the event. In this capacity the Host is required to do its utmost to gather the necessary means to organize the Symposium. In order to do so, it may freely solicit any and all public and private funding organizations, institutions, sponsors and partners in any country. It also has the right to sales of catalogues, advertising, derivative products, and entry fees.

2.a Structure and Content

The Symposium is, by its very nature, thoroughly interdisciplinary. An academic  conference is the heart of the event. Concurrently each Symposium offers great diversity in disciplines and maximum exposure to new and emerging paradigms. Although the symposia are not festivals per se, art shows, performances and cognate activities are integral parts of the event.

The content of the conference program is based on the results of an international Call for Papers & Participation, selected by an independent International Program Committee (IPC) that consists of internationally renowned experts in the field. (See section 5a) The Host Organization is encouraged to include several invited speakers, performers, exhibitors, etc. in the program in addition to those selected through the jurying process.

ISEA’s Board also encourages the Host Organization to incorporate aspects of local culture history and traditions (as they pertain to arts and technology) to make every Symposium a unique and rewarding socio-cultural experience.

2b. Naming and Timing of the Event

The name of the Symposium is "International Symposium on Electronic Art", preceded by the number (for example 'Tenth'). Abbreviated, the Symposium is called ISEA (no periods), followed by the year of the symposium (for example ''ISEA97"). On all symposium announcements, the symposium must be announced in this way:  "ISEA[year], [Number] International Symposium on Electronic Art". For example: "ISEA2000, Tenth International Symposium on Electronic Art".  This official name can be followed by a translation in the language of the host country.

The symposia have been held as both biennial and annual events. Since 1999 they have been held biennially.

2c. Location of the Event

Organizations or persons from any part of the world may make a submission to host a symposium. The successful bidder is known as the Host Organization for the event. Submissions will be accepted from the following categories:

Category 1:  a) Educational institutes (universities, art schools, museums,
                   etc.)
                   b) artistic, cultural or scientific organizations or government
                   bodies.

Category 2:  Congress organizing bureaus.  Category 2 applicants must
                   demonstrate evidence of organizing earlier, comparable and
                   successful events.

Category 3:  Umbrella organizations created for the purpose of hosting an
                   ISEA symposium. Category 3 applicants must show evidence  
                   of support and thus prove the feasibility of their financial plan.

2e. Cultural Diversity

It is ISEA’s goal to develop into a truly international and diverse community of artists, technologists and critics working in the electronic arts. To meet this goal symposia shall involve participation of under-represented groups and diverse communities in as wide a range of aesthetics and cultures as possible. To this end these Symposium Guidelines require that:

• Submissions for juried sections of the Symposium (exhibitions, performances, papers) should include an option to indicate if a submission is from a member of an under-represented community, especially if this is relevant to the jurying of the work.

• Submitters who believe that the cultural context of their work requires additional explanation for proper jurying should be given the option to provide supplemental materials.

• Juries should include someone who is responsible for insuring that such work is in fact reviewed in context.

2f. Use of ISEA Name and Logo

The Host Organization will ensure that the Inter-Society for the Electronic Arts is mentioned and its logo appears on all published materials and Internet Web sites related to the symposium.  The host will include the aims of the Inter-society and a membership application form in the call for papers and participation, the preliminary program and in the registration materials provided to delegates of the symposium.

2g. Archives

The term “archives” refers to all audiovisual and printed material issuing from the symposium. These include, but are not limited to, support documentation sent with artist submissions, symposium Web site, symposium catalog, symposium poster, proceedings, promotional material, and audio-visual documentation of the event. The Host Organization agrees to give ISEA headquarters these documents (originals or copies) for the ISEA archives.  The artists will be made aware and sign a release/agreement on the Call for Proposals permitting their material to be included in the archives.  This material will only be used for ISEA promotion and/or
non-commercial education and research purposes.

2h. Proceedings

The Host Organization agrees to publish illustrated symposium proceedings, documenting papers and projects as a minimum requirement. These proceedings will be made available to those attending the event. The Host Organization will give ISEA headquarters the right to sell/distribute the symposium publications after the event and create an archive for public access.
