ISEA98: THE LIVERPOOL REVOLUTION SYMPOSIUM The ninth International Symposium on Electronic Art opens in Liverpool on September 2nd. Hosted for the first time in the UK, the annual ISEA symposium is acclaimed for its ability to bring together the international cutting edge of opinion and opinion-makers concerned with the cultural use of Information Technology. Liverpool Art School and the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts host the Revolution Symposium. Together they are forum and laboratory in which to identify, assert and critique the notions and metaphors of Revolution - a word that describes both cyclic repetition and violent severence. Liverpool has assembled an outstanding global group of artists, academics, inventors and commentators ranging from 1960s electronic pioneers through to young, unsung iconoclasts impatient of everything. Together they will challenge and engage with a programme of presentations integrating papers, dialogues / debates, artist and technologists' workshops, exchanges and performances.
