[Cherie Driver]

A brief update from us here in Northern Ireland. We have been very busy for
the last while with paper proposal reviews under eight sub-themes and a
large art submission review by our International Programming Committee.
Kathy Rae Huffmann has been to visit us here in Belfast and we are well on
the way to drawing up an exciting programme for ISEA2009, including a
substantial juried exhibition, a fantastic array of papers, artists
presentations and workshops, as well as planning evening events and gigs. Do
keep an eye on our website for more regular updates and developments from
next week. I am also writing to announce a third call for papers and panels,
please log your submission under the tab for the 3rd call on our website.

Very best
