                  August 14 - 22, 2004


new media art - media culture research - electronic music -
art and science - cultural and social applications for new media -

New media meets art, science, research, and popular culture at
ISEA2004 in Stockholm - Tallinn - Helsinki. For the first time an
event of this scale is being organised between three cities and on
the ferry travelling between these three Baltic countries.
International participants and local audiences attend thematic
conferences, exhibitions, live performances, screenings, satellite
events, concerts and clubs. Many events are also interfaced via
television, radio, broadband Internet, and mobile networks.

We are encouraging: Socially, critically and ecologically engaging
work; Projects that bring the creative media to the streets; Projects 
that are worn on or inside people; Context sensitive work in the 
museums; Projects that float, dock or sail; Screen based media as it 
appears in 2004; Sea Fair: technological gizmos for ferry travellers and 
future media archaeologists to discover; Bridges between club scenes and 
art venues; Most engaging works from performing arts that engage new 
media, users, and audiences; Networks to network...

Key themes for the event include:
Networked experience (Stockholm)
Wearable experience (Tallinn)
Wireless experience (Helsinki)
Histories of the new: media arts, media cultures, media technologies
- all cities

Additional themes include:
Open source and software as culture (Helsinki)
Critical interaction design (Helsinki)
Geopolitics of media (Tallinn)
Interfacing sound (Helsinki and on the Ferry - in collaboration with
Koneisto - http://www.koneisto.com)

We are currently inviting proposals for projects and papers for the
exhibitions, conferences and associated programs during ISEA2004. 
Projects might include: works for exhibition in a gallery; workshops; 
installations in public spaces; live performance; interfaced screenings; 
games or shared environments; projects which encourage remote 
participation - etc.

Proposals for the conference can include papers and panels but we are
equally interested in workshops and roundtables:  discussion formats 
that encourage participation and exchange of ideas.

We are also working with a range of local organisations who may be able 
to host short and medium term residencies or workshops for artists who 
are keen to spend a longer time working with local artists and 
organisations. Information on these opportunities will be regularly 
added to the web site, so do register to receive updates.  ISEA2004 will 
be an exciting week long event, but we are also interested in providing 
a space to build long term, sustainable exchange and collaboration.

The time on the Ferry will provide a space for less formal dialogue and
social intercourse, so feel free to propose workshops and meetings for 
the exchange of information and ideas.

Our over all aim for ISEA2004 is to create an event which is 
thematically and critically coherent and provides new insight.

Please note that ISEA2004 is a forum for artistic, academic, and 
culturally or socially relevant work that has not previously been 
presented in international forums (you may have showed/presented it in 
your local
context).

All submissions are done via our website using a web form and stored 
into a database. This procedure allows us to have the proposals reviewed 
by International Programme Committee (IPC) members.  We very much look 
forward to hearing your ideas!
