Introductory Statement
GREETINGS. As Mayor and on behalf of the City of Chicago, I would like to offer my warmest greetings to the attendees, organizers, exhibitors, participants and friends of the 8th Annual International Symposium on Electronic Art (ISEA).
I am pleased to recognize the importance and vitality of electronic art, and to applaud the creativity and vision of the artists represented here. The exhibitions, collaborative programs and special events that ISEA presents will help to introduce this most modern of art forms to those who are unfamiliar with it and to provide a forum for new and interesting works from all over the world. I congratulate those who have worked to make the ISEA show possible, and join them in recognizing the exciting possibilities of this form of expression.
My best wishes to each of you for an enjoyable and memorable event.
- RICHARD M. DALEY is the mayor of Chicago, USA
