Paris, France (ISEA 2000) - 10th edition PRESENTATION ISEA2000 will be a major international event for members of the artistic community involved with new media. It consists of: 1- an international symposium composed of papers and panel sessions, poster sessions, workshops and institutional presentations, 2- a program of exhibitions, concerts, performances, electronic theater, "street scenes" (outdoor activities), 3- and publications. This call for participation is open to all propositions related to the above program of activities. TARGET GROUPS ISEA2000, the International Symposium is oriented toward : - professionals in the arts and new media (creation, production, publishing and broadcasting electronic arts) - students, teachers, researchers, - as well as the general public who are invited to attend concerts, performances, electronic theater, "street scenes" (outdoor activities), and exhibitions. ISEA2000 aims to represent the diversity of those engaged in new media, and encourages submissions from artists and researchers from cultural groups that have been traditionally under-represented at global events and previous ISEA Symposia. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE ISEA is committed to interdisciplinary and cross-cultural communication/cooperation between the arts and the fields of technology, science, education and industry. With "Revelation" as its theme, ISEA2000 will focus on new means of representation, and will explore the effects of the technological revolution on art and society : digital images, virtual realities, multimedia, interactive installations, networks etc. ISEA 2000 "Revelation" will put into perspective the transformations undergone by different artistic disciplines : fine arts, theatre, music, film and video, architecture, design, fashion. It will attempt to understand how new information and communication technologies produce means of expression unique to digital civilizations. THEMES In April 2000, an international programming committee comprised of professionals working in art, culture and research will select the projects chosen to be part of ISEA2000. These works will concern the following themes : Digital Art Dedicated to art history and theory, various schools of thought and their relation to new technologies, this part of the symposium will consider artistic movements which have preceded and accompanied the emergence of information and communication technologies. The goal will be to gain a better understanding of how contemporary approaches to digital art have developed. We will also examine the ways in which these approaches are unique. Interactivity And Generactivity : Transmitters Of New Forms Using interactivity, global networks and computer equipment available worldwide, authors and creators of digital works are inventing new means of expression which dramatically alter the artist's relation to art and the public. The form and the manner in which a work develops are no longer solely determined by its creator. With interactive and generative processes, a work's form and development may be influenced by the reactions of the viewer, or those of its environment, and/or by a programmed autonomy. Real time and outside interventions are thus two elements of the creative process. How do these factors modify representation, speech, narrative and expression? New Arenas Of Revelation In comparison to certain powerful cultural industries, digital creation presents itself as being a laboratory of free expression which entirely modifies our relation to time, space, information, communication and art. Virtual realities and communication networks are increasingly becoming indispensable elements of our daily environment. Can this new arena of representation be considered a new space for revelation, and if so, for the emergence of which emotions and meanings? The Internet foreshadows the interconnection of a multitude of virtual spaces for exchange and expression populated by nomadic communities. International, interdisciplinary and multicultural, digital space abolishes borders and is part of a massive social and cultural transformation. It is defining new codes of representation which are unique to cyberspace and which call for analysis and questioning. The transformation of creative tools resulting from the convergence of digital techniques allows for means of expression previously unheard of, as well as new relationships between different artistic disciplines : video and film, fine arts, theatre, sound, writing, design, fashion, architecture. New artistic forms emerge from these encounters. What are their consequences? How will they affect the creative process? All proposals must be related to these mentioned themes. INFORMATIONS ON SUBMISSIONS THE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM 1-PAPERS Papers can be short (20 minutes) or long (45 minutes). The papers will be published in the ISEA2000 Proceedings after the event. All papers must be written in English and / or French. They must be original and previously unpublished. An abstract of 500 words maximum is required for the first deadline, April 15, 2000 . After a preselection, the authors will be requested to send their full dossier, including illustrations, videos, or other materials. 2- PANELS Panel proposals should contain the theme of the panel and a description of the proposed panel members. 3- POSTER SESSIONS Poster sessions are informal presentations (about 30 minutes) of research or art practice, with the aid of audiovisual equipment. Proposals should include a short description of the work, with supporting visual or audio materials (pictures, videotape, cdrom, website, etc.). 4- WORKSHOPS Workshops are thematic discussions open to the public. Workshop proposals should aim at both teachers and students in the field of the electronic arts (including music) and at Symposium participants. Proposals can cover any field of electronic art. Workshop proposals that aim at integrating electronic art in more traditional art forms are especially welcome. Workshops typically include hands-on sessions. Proposals can be for a half day session or a full day session. Workshop proposals must be sent in a short and precise text presentation form. Since available equipment at this stage is limited, it is important to indicate the equipment requirements as completely as possible in the proposal. 5-INSTITUTIONAL PRESENTATIONS Institutional presentations are open to institutes, organizations, festivals etc. in the field of the electronic arts. In principle, all relevant proposals should be accepted, but it must be noted that presenters in this category do not receive free admission to the Symposium. ASSOCIATED PUBLIC EVENTS 6-CONCERTS, PERFORMANCES AND STREET SCENES Concerts and performances will be programmed as part of the event. Individuals and institutes are invited to submit the best and most recent examples of their work in these fields. The street represents an ideal space for presenting new media creations to the general public. Artists invest the public space with a critical view of urban communication, architecture and social debate. Proposals which relate to the above mentioned topics and adapted to an outdoor exhibition are especially encouraged. 7-ISEA2000 REVELATION EXHIBITIONS All forms of new media creations (interactive installations, Websites, videotapes, virtual reality works, multimedia, networks, computer aided sculpture, digital imagery, etc.) keeping with the proposed themes are welcome for ISEA2000's exhibitions. Proposals should clearly describe the contents of the materials submitted, the installation requirements (including hard and software, audiovisual equipment, necessary assistance, etc.) and include audio and/or visual material (pictures, tapes, etc.) to give an overview of the work. 8-ELECTRONIC THEATER A film and video show will be held during ISEA2000. Individuals and institutes are invited to submit the best and most recent examples of their work in the fields of computer animation, image processing and video art. A broad selection will be shown at the exhibition site. GENERAL SUBMISSION INFORMATIONS It is important to include with each proposal : - a complete list of required equipment, - a description of how the projects will be financed and produced. In order to facilitate the selection submissions, ART 3000 will set up a database of the proposals. For this reason it is strongly recommended that submissions include an html/Web presentation of each proposal ( one page maximum) which will be availabe for consultation on the ART3000 Website (www.art3000.com). Submitters who believe that a broader understanding of the context of their work is important for review may include additional supporting materials, such as a statement describing their access to technology or documentation of other work which is not intended for current consideration.
