ISEA Call for Papers, Panels and Artist Presentations

ISEA invites submissions to the conference of the International
Symposium on Electronic Art 2008 that will be held in Singapore between
25th & 30th July 2008. This symposium consists of three aspects of peer
reviewed conference(s), internationally juried exhibition(s) and
various in-conjunction and partner events.

The conference, as in previous ISEAs, is expected to bring together
artists, theorists, historians, curators and researchers of media arts
from around the world to jointly explore the most urgent and exciting
questions in the field. The conference is held alongside workshops,
courses, exhibitions, performances and other in-conjunction events that
will be held for the duration of ISEA2008 from 25th July to August 3rd
2008.

ISEA welcome contributions from creative practitioners and researchers
from a variety of disciplines and institutional contexts as media arts
benefits from and exemplifies the interdisciplinary linkages between
contemporary art, science, technology and their related philosophies,
pedagogies and institutional practices.

Call for Papers closes on the 30th of September 2007.

The five themes of ISEA2008 are especially focused on eliciting a wide
range of international scholars and artists. The themes are; Locating
Media, Wiki Wiki, Ludic Interfaces, Border Transmissions and Reality
