ISEA 2008. Call for papers. Singapure.

Call for Papers, Panels and Artist Present­a­tions

We cordi­ally invite submis­sions to the confer­ence of the Inter­na­tional Symposium on Elec­tronic Art 2008 that will be held in Singa­pore between 25th & 30th July 2008. 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.

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 five themes of ISEA2008 are espe­cially focused on elicit­ing a wide range of inter­na­tional schol­ars and artists.

Confer­ence Programme

The confer­ence programme will include compet­it­ively selec­ted, peer-reviewed indi­vidual papers and panel present­a­tions. This year we are also encour­aging artists who wish to share their works with a broader audi­ence of their peers to submit artist present­a­tions where they can speak about the specific aesthetic, concep­tual and tech­no­lo­gical aspects of their works. The confer­ence also prom­ises to present a list of inter­na­tion­ally renowned Keynote Speak­ers expound­ing on the major themes of the confer­ence. There will also be a special lecture delivered by a Nobel Laur­eate.

Call for Propos­als

We 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. The submis­sions must address or be of relev­ance to at least one of the themes of ISEA2008 in order to be considered for inclu­sion in the confer­ence.
