Syndicate: THE ISEA WEBCAST |
ISEA97 - WEBCAST The 8th International Symposium on Electronic Art (ISEA97) is coming up next week ! To emphasize its presence at the Symposium, the Montreal ISEA HQ is organizing a "WebCast". The ISEA WebCast wishes to link the ISEA virtual community that has been evolving for the past ten years and the symposium, the yearly meeting point of this community. ISEA opens its wings in two complementary time-spaces, the first being linear in time but never grounded in a particular space: the community, the second being ephemeral both in time and space: the annual meetings. Each ISEA hosting city can be seen as a temporary base for this huge community. If the WebCast we realize is a real electronic fingerprint of an urban event, it is also a vessel in the cyberspace of the hosting town. The ISEA WebCast will land in Chicago to: 1-define the frontier between the ephemeral interior space of a symposium dedicated to electronic arts and its concrete exterior space, not always concrete, the city which welcomes and surrounds it. 2-grab the essence of the event and allow the critical expression of its participants. **CALL FOR PARTICIPATION ** All ISEA attendees can help us to make this WebCast an experimental success Time 1: We are seeking for artistic collaborations and critical texts to be realized during the symposium, both from panelists or anyone concerned by the confrontation of 3 spaces we will experiment during the symposium, the space of the ISEA community, the ephemeral symposium and its grounding grip; Chicago Time 2: All columns and reviews regarding the symposium will be hosted on the site. A call is now sent to everyone. Our team will put on line daily all your contributions, texts, images and sounds Hoping to meet you in the WebCast Lounge (Ballroom) in Chicago, we hope you will be part of this collaboration experience of the third kind.
