[spectre] Excursions - A day out with ISEA2010 RUHR

[Karin Bellmann]

Dear friends of ISEA2010 RUHR,

on Wednesday, 25 August 2010, ISEA2010 RUHR presents an extensive
excursion programme to some of the most important institutions for media
art in the region. This will give all participants the opportunity to not
only meet and discuss with each other while you are on the tour, but to
also visit some of the most interesting museums and exhibitions in the
region. Our co-operation partners at each destination are looking forward
to welcoming you and providing you with an absorbing day!

On that day, there will be no conference events - the day is entirely
dedicated to your exploration of the region! We round off the day with a
public street party at the Dortmunder U art centre, the closing event for
the associated E-Culture Fair 2010. The conference then continues full-on
on Thursday 26 August 2010.

Please register for one of the excursions until 13 August 2010 at
excursions[at]isea2010ruhr.org or from 20 to 24 August 2010 at the
ISEA2010 RUHR info counter to secure a seat on one of the buses.
Please, note that places are limited; for organisational reasons we need
binding registrations.

All trips leave from Dortmund Bus Station in front of Dortmund Central
Station at 9:00h. The buses will return to Dortmund between 18:00h and
20:00h.

Meeting Point: Bus station in front of Dortmund Central Station.
Admission: EUR 10 (free with the paid Full Festival Pass and Symposium Pass)
