Dear friends & colleagues


ISEA2004 (12th International Symposium on Electronic Arts) will be held in
Helsinki, Aland Islands, Tallinn and a huge passenger ferry cruising
between them August 14th - 22nd, 2004. About 1400 experts in the areas of
media culture, research, technology and the arts are expected to attend the
event. Collaboration between research, science and art will be explored in
a range of conferences, exhibitions, concerts, live performances and club
events.

DO NOT MISS THE EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION - only a week left...!!! SAVE 30%

cruise prices are all-inclusive (meals, travel, programme all in one).

The Silja Opera ferry is a luxurious passenger liner, a floating tropical
island with pools, palms, jacuzzi and retractable glass roof, turned into a
multi-venue experience. The programme includes clubbing, sound art,
installations, interactive games, sonic experiments, workshops and panels
in venues such as the Metropolitan Club, the Karaoke and Disco Lounge and
the Chill Out Deck, plus unexpected places from lifts to swimming pools.

channels are especially designed for ISEA2004.

The first two sessions, 'Interfacing Sound' and 'Networked Experience' take
place on the boat. After the cruise, ISEA2004 symposium continues in
Tallinn ('Wearable Experience') and culminates in Helsinki ('Wireles
Experience') with conferences, exhibitions, performances and works in
