[spectre] Call for Participation: ISEA2016 Hong Kong Cultural R>evolution

[Dr. Olli Tapio LEINO]

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

22nd International Symposium on Electronic Art
ISEA2016 Hong Kong 香港 Cultural R>evolution
May/16–22/2016

Please visit http://www.isea2016.info for full version of this call.

Electronic media exemplifies the dual meaning of revolution: to always
create new while returning to the old. In this dynamic, where multiple
centers and margins compete for attention, and borders to be
transgressed are shifting, paradigms and practices must be replaced,
repackaged and re-appropriated to keep up with the parallel evolutions
in art, creativity, culture, society, and politics.

We invite full and short papers, panel and roundtable discussions,
posters, artist talks / work-in-progress presentations, proposals for
artworks (including concerts and performances) and events in public
space responding to the above main theme of the symposium and/or to one
or more of the subthemes described below. We also invite proposals for
workshops/tutorials, institutional presentations, applications for KAF x
FUSE ISEA2016HK Residency Program, and, proposals for OPEN SKY GALLERY
ISEA2016 Hong Kong 香港 Project for ICC.

## ABOUT ISEA ##

Founded in the Netherlands in 1990, ISEA International (formerly
Inter-Society for the Electronic Arts) is an international non-profit
organisation fostering interdisciplinary academic discourse and exchange
among culturally diverse organisations and individuals working with art,
science and technology. The main activity of ISEA International is the
annual International Symposium on Electronic Art (ISEA). In an important
move for ISEA, an agreement with University of Brighton to establish an
ISEA Headquarters was signed in July 2009. ISEA HQ provides an
administrative, academic and creative base for ISEA and develops a
fruitful partnership with a leading research University. The symposia
began in 1988.
