To all the signatories of the Declaration "MEDIA ART NEEDS GLOBAL 
NETWORKED ORGANISATION & SUPPORT" (aka The Liverpool Declaration), all 
ISEA2019 archive session participants and others.

*Announcement & Call for Participation*

The Liverpool Declaration currently has close to 500 leading experts and 
the most influential institutions in the field of new media and 
electronic arts as signatories to "MEDIA ART NEEDS GLOBAL NETWORKED 
ORGANISATION & SUPPORT" http://www.mediaarthistory.org/declaration

Functioning as a mission statement, the Liverpool Declaration serves as 
a foundation for further action that was already being discussed at the 
25^th International Symposium on Electronic Art (ISEA2019), in Gwangju, 
Republic of Korea. A group of like-minded colleagues discussed 
approaches towards the problems and potential of the archiving of new 
media art. The overwhelming attendance to this meeting stressed the 
growing need for collaboration, structure and funding.

As a next step, at ISEA2020 (Montreal, Canada, May 19-24), a full day 
networking summit will be coordinated by the ISEA online Symposium 
Archives, the Archive of Digital Art, the Ars Electronica Archive, and 
SIGGRAPH Digital Art Show Archive. The defenite date for the Summit is 
still being discussed and maybe the day preceding the actual ISEA 
symposium, on Monday May 18th. *Aims of this summit are to discuss roads 
towards realizing the Liverpool Declaration goals related to Media Art 
Archiving collaboration, funding and formats.*

affairs
2: Impulse Presentations (10 minutes each) of Case Studies,
