ISEA2015 - early birds closing soon

by vicki smith

on behalf : Good morning, We invite you to participate in ISEA2015 in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia from August 14-19th! Our Early Bird registration deadline will close on July 15th, 2015, and we have a very exciting program planned. ABOUT ISEA2015 Vancouver 20 years after its first occurrence in Montreal in 1995, the 21st International Symposium on Electronic Arts (ISEA2015) returns to Canada. Hosted by Simon Fraser University's School of Interactive Arts + Technology, School for Contemporary Arts, and FCAT; ISEA2015 presents a rich academic program rooted in both the humanities and sciences, as well as a groundbreaking art program. ISEA2015 is a six-day symposium featuring over 450 speakers, workshops, tutorials, panels, papers and institutional presentations. It showcases over 180 artworks ranging from large-scale interactive installations to cutting-edge electronic music performances. The theme of ISEA2015—Disruption—encourages us to re-examine and re-negotiate the frontiers between academia and art, practice and theory, systems and reality, art and society. Centered at SFU Woodward's downtown campus , ISEA2015’s programming will overflow to venues across Metro Vancouver. Partners include local artistic organisations and venues such as the Vancouver Art Gallery, Western Front, VIVO, the Museum of Vancouver, Grunt Gallery, Vancouver New Music, 221A, New Westminster New Media Gallery, Fortune Sound Club, the New Forms Festival, and more. ISEA2015 will explore subthemes around the potential of electronic arts to reach out into the world and effect genuine change. These subthemes include Climate Change, Disruption and Urban Landscapes, Contemporary Curatorial Practices, Media Activism and Subversion, DIY Technology, BioArt, Sound Ecology, Embodied Art Practices, Geopolitics, and more. To frame the discussion around the artistic, scientific, technological, and social manifestations of disruption as a cultural phenomenon, ISEA2015 will feature keynote addresses by visionaries such as Brian Massumi, Michael Connor, Dominique Moulon, Hildegard Westerkamp, and Sara Diamond. Master disruptors The Yes Men will close the symposium with an address on the use of creative expression for subversion and disruption.

What is ISEA2015? The International Symposium on Electronic Art (ISEA) is the main nomadic international academic gathering focused on electronic and digital arts. Since its inception in 1988 in the Netherlands, it has been organized in 4 continents and in over 20 international cities that span Istanbul, Paris, Munich, Albuquerque, Sydney and Dubai. ISEA last came to Canada in 1995 in Montreal, where it had a tremendously positive impact on the local community both in terms of cultural and economic shifts that remain central to Montreal even today! ISEA brings together scholarly, artistic, and scientific domains in an interdisciplinary discussion and showcase of creative productions applying new technologies in art, interactivity, and electronic and digital media. ISEA2015 is hosted by Simon Fraser University's Faculty of Communication, Arts, and Technology, its School for the Contemporary Arts, and its School for Interactive Arts + Technology (SIAT).
