[csaa-forum] ISEA2008 Conference open call

[Alvin Tan]

International Symposium on Electronic Art 2008 (ISEA2008)
CALL FOR PAPERS, PANELS AND ARTIST PRESENTATIONS

We cordially invite submissions to the conference of the International 
Symposium on Electronic Art 2008 that will be held in Singapore between 
25th – 30th July 2008. The conference is held alongside workshops, 
courses, exhibitions, performances and other in-conjunction events that 
will be held for the duration of ISEA2008 from 25th July to August 3rd 
2008. 

The conference, as in previous ISEAs, is expected to bring together 
artists, theorists, historians, curators and researchers of media arts 
from around the world to jointly explore the most urgent and exciting 
questions in the field. The five themes of ISEA2008 are especially 
focused on eliciting a wide range of international scholars and 
artists. 

Conference Programme

The conference programme will include competitively selected, 
peer-reviewed individual papers and panel presentations. This year we 
are also encouraging artists who wish to share their works with a 
broader audience of their peers to submit artist presentations where 
they can speak about the specific aesthetic, conceptual and 
technological aspects of their works. The conference also promises to 
present a list of internationally renowned Keynote Speakers expounding 
on the major themes of the conference. There will also be a special 
lecture delivered by a Nobel Laureate. 

Call for Proposals

We welcome contributions from creative practitioners and researchers 
from a variety of disciplines and institutional contexts as media arts 
benefits from and exemplifies the interdisciplinary linkages between 
contemporary art, science, technology and their related philosophies, 
pedagogies and institutional practices. The submissions must address or 
be of relevance to at least one of the themes of ISEA2008 in order to 
be considered for inclusion in the conference. The conference will be 
of interest to those working in but not limited to the following areas: 
media art, contemporary art, design, art history and theory, film and 
media studies, gaming, toy design, human-computer interaction, cultural 
studies, literary studies, musicology, sound studies, theatre, dance 
and performance studies, science, technology and society studies, 
history of science and history of technology, philosophy, history, 
gender studies, political science, anthropology, sociology and 
geography.
