OVERVIEW
This website is an archive of the printed and digital materials from the International Symposium on Electronic Art (ISEA). Since 1988, this nomadic symposium has been organised in a different city by a different team each time. The ISEA symposium is overseen by ISEA International (isea-international.org), a non-profit organisation fostering interdisciplinary academic discourse and exchange among culturally diverse organisations and individuals working with art, science, the humanities and emerging technologies. More information on ISEA International on the bottom of this page. To learn something about the history of ISEA see this 1994 video interview and this e-mail interview (2013).
The Extended ISEA Archive with images is located here: https://isea-archives.siggraph.org/

New ISEA Symposium Archive
We are building a new version of this archive, that is more dynamic and visual, has many more internal connections and possibilities for data visualisation. For the time being, the ‘classic’ archive (you are visiting now) is more complete. Go to the new archive. The production team for the new version of the ISEA Online Symposium Archives can be found below.
___________________________________________________________________________________________
Glossary
Some explanation regarding the terms used in this archive. The naming of events is derived from the categories of events and presentations at the ISEA symposia themselves. We use ‘symposium’ for a single events and ‘symposia’ for the plural. Same for medium and media. Since ISEA’s roots lay in Europe, UK English is the official language, although, because of the international character of the symposium, you will find american English all over the contents of the archives. Go to Glossary.
__________________________________________________________________________________________
NEWS
We will regulaly inform you here on the progress we make in improving and updating this archive as well as on the development of the new version of the ISEA Online Symposium Archives. Also, we will include other information related to the history of ISEA.

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
First Workshop on New Media Art Archiving 2025
at ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe
The network of international New Media Art Archives is pleased to announce the Call for Proposals for the the first Workshop on New Media Art Archiving (WNMAA) to be held from February 5th to 8th, 2025, at the ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe, Germany
Since 2020, the annual Summit on New Media Art Archiving (SNMAA) has become an important forum for advancing the preservation of new media art archives through open collaboration and knowledge-sharing. Building on the discussions and knowledge exchanged at previous Summits, this workshop at ZKM will adopt a hands-on approach to addressing key debates and exploring innovative methods and technologies in New Media Art archiving. The workshop seeks to deepen interdisciplinary collaboration and foster the creation of a globally interconnected network of new media art archives.
Background
Preserving media arts and their contexts is essential for safeguarding cultural heritage and ensuring that future generations can access and appreciate this unique form of artistic expression. In recent years, there has been a proliferation of online archives dedicated to New Media Art, yet these repositories largely operate in isolation. Despite ongoing efforts to preserve and disseminate information about new media art artists and artworks, the lack of interconnectivity between these archives presents a significant challenge. The New Media Art Archiving initiative began with initial discussions in 2018 and took shape in a series of four summits in Montreal, Barcelona, Paris, and Brisbane over the following 5 years. The current network includes both independent researchers and representatives from international archives, such as the ACM SIGGRAPH History Archive, Archive of Digital Art (ADA), Ars Electronica, FILE (Electronic Language International Festival), ISEA Symposium Archives, MEMODUCT, and ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe.
Goal
Building on the discussions from the Summit on New Media Art Archiving series regularly held at the ISEA symposia, this workshop will convene experts, practitioners, and stakeholders to explore strategies and best practices for globally connecting new media art archives. The goal is to establish a comprehensive knowledge-base and foster a network of experts dedicated to advancing New Media Art archiving. We hope to develop solutions that will lead to the creation of a framework for a globally connected network of archives.
Call for Participation, Interest, Experts, and Experience:
The Workshop on New Media Art Archiving invites contributions from individuals interested in connecting archives. We seek submissions from academics, archivists, technologists, and practitioners across diverse fields, encouraging the sharing of expertise and experiences.
Connecting People and Archival Data
We invite submissions with particular emphasis on the following themes:
– Strategy Development: Exploring diverse options and implementation models to develop an inclusive, participatory system of connecting archives and enhancing communication between archivists and community members.
– AI, Blockchain, Emerging Technologies and Challenges: Exploring new emerging possibilities for the development and dissemination of archives thanks to new technologies. Addressing the technological challenges associated with open knowledge-base systems and other technologies for connecting new media art archives.
– Metadata and Documentation: Analysing the most recent developments and challenges of comprehensive metadata and documentation standards for effectively connecting media art networks.
– Access and Accessibility: Examining strategies for enhancing access to archived media artist information while ensuring its long-term preservation and security.
– Idea Development: Engaging in teamwork to implement strategies and test possibilities. The ultimate goal is to develop a prototype.
Dates and Location of the Workshop
Date: February 5–8, 2025
Location: ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe, Germany
Workshop Format and Expectations:
The workshop will be structured as follows:
- Presentations, open roundtable discussions, panels, & workshops: Participants may share specific case studies or projects, followed by discussions.
- Collaborative problem solving: Small group sessions will tackle key challenges in new media art archiving, with participants contributing their expertise to develop practical solutions.
Participation Requirements
Applicants should submit the following:
- Letter of Intent: A brief letter (up to 500 words) outlining the applicant’s experience or interest in new media art archiving.
- Short CV or Professional Bio (150-200 words)
- Description of Contribution: A concise description (up to 500 words) of the proposed contribution,
- Type of Contribution: (e.g., presentation, open roundtable discussion, panel, or workshop).

and we added them individually to the corresponding entries in this archive, as well as in the new archive. We entered all data for ISEA2022 (Barcelona) as well as for the ISEA2022 Pre-Event, that took place in 2021. Recently, we added the Catalogue of ISEA98 (Liverpool/Manchester) to the archive (https://www.isea-archives.org/docs/1998/catalogue/98_catalogue_ReSized.pdf). We are busy preparing the Catalogue of ISEA2002 (Nagoya, Japan) for inclusion soon. We are still missing materials, for example the ISEA98 Papers, since no Proceedings were published that year. If you think you have materials we are missing, please contact us at info[at]isea-archives.org. Thank you!

Future of ISEA
ISEA Symposium: Learning from the Past; Looking at the Future
This Round table discussion was held on Monday 13 June 4:30-6:00 in the Centre for Contemporary Art Barcelona (CCCB) Main Theater
The ISEA International Advisory Committee organiserd an open discussion at ISEA2022 to reflect on ISEA’s past and help define its future.
The ISEA symposium has been held in 20 countries around the world since 1988. A lot has changed in that time and we now find ourselves in an environment where dissemination of information and community engagement has changed radically. The structure of the ISEA organisation has also changed in the past 34 years and is continuing to change. The voice of the larger ISEA community is incredibly important in helping the organisation pave a dynamic and effective path forward. We would appreciate your input.
There were four options for providing feedback:
1. Attending the Round Table discussion 13 June at 4:30 at ISEA2022
2. Filling out a survey
3. Joining remotely
4. Submitting suggestions to the designated physical dropboxes at ISEA2022
Question:
What changes or improvements would you like ISEA to make in the future?
Thank you for your comments and suggestions; we received 85 of them, categorised as follows (number of suggestions between brackets):
- ISEA symposium themes and content (14)
- Symposium structure (19)
- Symposium organisation and collaborations (14)
- ISEA community and community engagement (12)
- Participation conditions (5)
- Specifically on student participation (7)
- Publishing (5)
- Comments regarding the ISEA Board, IIAC (Advisory Committee), and the ISEA organisation (9)

ISEA Archive Video Channel on YouTube!
With the aid of a financial contribution from the Dutch Cultural Participation Fund, the ISEA Symposium archivists were able to have part of their video collection digitised. These videos were entered by Symposium participants whose submission was accepted and others were recordings of actual symposium events. We first checked whether the videos could not already be found online and only digitised videos we could not find there. We believe we provide a service to the history of the electronic arts. However, if someone feels not good about their work being put online, they are asked to contact us (info[at]isea-archives.org), after which we will remove the video.

25th ISEA Celebration Animation
On the occasion of the 25th ISEA symposium, the Dutch artists and early symposium contributors Peter Sweenen & Robin Noorda made a wonderful short animation, called “The International Symposium on Electronic Art: From The Netherlands to the Republic of Korea in 25 Great Achievements”. Even though it is very short, like an animated intro, it, in a way, contains the whole story. Look at it more than once, you will keep discovering new elements. Thank you very much, Peter, Robin, Seth (who provided the outer space sounds from SETI) and Alfred (who processed the outer space sound).
