ISEA2002, 11th International Symposium on Electronic Art will be held in
Nagoya, Japan from October 27 to 31 with the theme, [Orai].    [Orai]  is a
Japanese word, meaning comings and goings, communication, and contact,  as
well as streets and traffic.

About 200 years ago, a book titled “Nagoya Orai” was compiled and
published in Nagoya and it was used as a kind of textbook for teaching and
writing.   Through arguments around art and its interdisciplinary studies,
ISEA2002  NAGOYA [Orai] hopes to provide an opportunity to create a new text
in this electronically networked society.

ISEA2002 NAGOYA [Orai],  the first ISEA symposium in Asia , is expecting
about 1500 participants including artists, researchers, engineers, and
students and over 200 presentations of papers and works from 30 countries
across the world.  Many related exhibitions , concerts, performances and
more will be also held in Nagoya area.

In this pre-program for ISEA2002,  we invite directors renowned in
electronic art fields from Asia to Nagoya and provide opportunities to
exchange opinions with specialists in related field in Japan and to open the
discussion  about the possibility of Electronic Art and special topic [Orai]
in ISEA2002 to the public.

This symposium and party provide aid for the purpose of promoting mutual
understanding  and friendship between  specialists in Asia and citizens in
Nagoya.

"The possibility that everything is to be exposed on the same platform."
That is what digital technology thrusts at us now.
Borderlines are vanishing.  It is no longer easy to grasp what media is.
What does media mean in the realm of arts ?
