*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 Program*
The conference program 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. *
