ISEA ANNOUNCES HOST OF ISEA2006 Source: Inter-Society for the Electronic Arts (ISEA) Pieter de Hoochstraat 38-2 1071 EG Amsterdam The Netherlands T: +31 20 6120297 F: +31 20 6182359 E: info@isea-web.org http://www.isea-web.org Amsterdam, December 17, 2003 The Inter-Society for the Electronic Arts (ISEA) is extremely pleased to announce that the Thirteenth International Symposium on Electronic Art (ISEA2006) will be held in San Jose, California, USA. After careful evaluation of the four exceptionally strong bids received through an open call for proposals, the ISEA Board unanimously decided to accept the proposal submitted by the San Jose Convention & Visitors Bureau in collaboration with the City of San Jose; San Jose State University CADRE Institute; San Jose Museum of Art; ZeroOne: The Art and Technology Network; the Tech Museum of Innovation; and Cultural Initiatives Silicon Valley. Steve Dietz, former Curator of New Media at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, will act as ISEA2006 Symposium Director. The ISEA Board, composed of Peter Anders, Chris Csikszentmihalyi, Nina Czegledy, Gunalan Nadarajan, Anne Nigten, Julianne Pierce, Wim van der Plas, Cynthia Beth Rubin, and Mark Tribe, found the bid from San Jose to be extremely timely and potentially invigorating for the region, while at the same time rich in possibilities for dialogue and exchange on an international level. Within the theme Silicon Transvergence, the San Jose team distinctively addresses themes of culture, business, the arts and academia, suggesting the potential for unique interaction between all of these sectors through the symposium, exhibitions, workshops, performances, artists in residence, and events. "This conference is ideally suited to San Jose because we are an established global center of technology innovation and entrepreneurial enterprise," said San Jose Mayor Ron Gonzales. "Both our city's history of discovery and our civic vision for the creative union of technology, art, culture, and community will make this conference highly successful." The Inter-Society for the Electronic Arts (ISEA) is an international non-profit organization fostering interdisciplinary academic discourse and exchange among culturally diverse organizations and individuals working with art, science and emerging technologies. ISEA publishes a newsletter; hosts an online archive and exchange environment and oversees the International Symposium on Electronic Art, a regular gathering of the international art, science and technology community. The Twelfth International Symposium on Electronic Art (ISEA2004) will be held from August 14 22, 2004 in Stockholm, Tallinn and Helsinki. For the first time, an event of this scale is being organised between three cities in three countries. ISEA has previously taken place in Utrecht, Groningen, Sydney, Minneapolis, Helsinki, Montréal, Rotterdam, Chicago, Liverpool-Manchester, Paris, and Nagoya. ------------------------------------------------------- rohrpost - deutschsprachige Liste zur Kultur digitaler Medien und Netze Archiv: http://www.nettime.org/rohrpost http://post.openoffice.de/pipermail/rohrpost/ Ent/Subskribieren: http://post.openoffice.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rohrpost/
