16th International Symposium on Electronic Art [ISEA2010]

Ruhr Area, Germany
August 20 – August 29, 2010

Presented by Medienwerk North Rhine Westphalia and Hartware MedienKunstVerein (HMKV) 

Overview

ISEA2010 was part of RUHR2010, the manifestation of the Ruhr area as the Cultural Capital of Europe in the year 2010. ISEA2010 RUHR took place in the three Cities of Essen, Dortmund and Duisburg one after another. The main exhibitions ran in Dortmund throughout the days of the symposium. The conference took place at the Volkshochschule in Dortmund, the PACT Zollverein (former coal mine complex) in Essen and the Festival Centre of Duisburg. PACT was also the location of workshops, an exhibition, a number of installations and performances. The main Art Exhibition was held at the Museum fuer Kunst und Kulturgeschichte (MKK), Dortmund. A pre-opening event under the name TRUST as well as an E-Culture Fair took place as part of ISEA2010 in Dortmund’s U-Tower. A Concert programme was scheduled at the Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen. Under the motto Return of the Pilots a special programme was organised at Ruhrort, an historic district of Duisburg (see below). Many events and installations were staged in public space.

Return of the Pilots

On the second weekend of ISEA2010 RUHR artists, realists and utopians convene under the motto “Return of the Pilots” for a meeting full of courage, scepticism and hope while taking in the view over the flat horizon of the Lower Rhine. The City of Duisburg is home to Europe’s largest inland port, located in the Ruhrort district at the mouth of the Rhine and the Ruhr. It has been one of the most important trading centres connecting Central Europe, Western Europe and the Rhine axis not just since industrialisation, when it was used for coal and steel shipping, but as far back as the Middle Ages. Duisburg was, like Dortmund and Essen, a member of the Hanseatic League. The essential reason for the ISEA2010 RUHR Duisburg location is, however, the city’s continuous work in the field of media art in public space, which has been presented here for more than ten years in exhibitions, festivals and major projects.
