[ISEA2004] Introduction: Nina Czegledy – THE INTER-SOCIETY FOR THE ELECTRONIC ARTS WELCOMES THE 12TH EDITION OF ISEA

Introductory Statement

The Inter-Society for the Electronic Arts (ISEA) welcomes the 12th edition of the ISEA symposium and is proud to celebrate ISEA2004 on the tenth anniversary of the first Scandinavian ISEA event. ISEA is an international nonprofit organization fostering interdisciplinary academic discourse and exchange among culturally diverse organizations and individuals working with art, science and emerging technologies.

The Inter-Society coordinates the continuing occurrence of the ISEA Symposia, considered by many to be the most significant international ‘academic’ conference and showcase of electronic art in the world. Each issue is presented in a different location around the globe. ISEA also publishes a newsletter, hosts an online archive and exchange environment and co-sponsors events.

ISEA has previously taken place in Utrecht, Groningen, Sydney, Minneapolis, Helsinki, Montreal, Rotterdam, Chicago, Liverpool-Manchester, Paris and Nagoya. The 13th edition, ISEA2006, will take place in San Jose, California, USA in August 2006. Steve Dietz, former Curator of New Media at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, will act as ISEA2006 Symposium Director.

The ISEA Board and Angela Plohman, Coordinating Director, look forward to meeting you all at ISEA2004.
