<h3>What is ISEA2015?</h3>
<p> The International Symposium on Electronic Art (ISEA) is the
main nomadic international academic gathering focused on
electronic and digital arts. Since its inception in 1988 in the
Netherlands, it has been organized in 4 continents and in over
20 international cities that span Istanbul, Paris, Munich,
Albuquerque, Sydney and Dubai. ISEA last came to Canada in 1995
in Montreal, where it had a tremendously positive impact on the
local community both in terms of cultural and economic shifts
that remain central to Montreal even today! ISEA brings together
scholarly, artistic, and scientific domains in an
interdisciplinary discussion and showcase of creative
productions applying new technologies in art, interactivity, and
electronic and digital media. <br>
</p>
<p> ISEA2015 is hosted by Simon Fraser University's Faculty of
Communication, Arts, and Technology FCAT. We expect 1000+
artists, scholars, researchers and students from around the
world, making it the largest event on electronic art offered to
date in British Columbia. While centered at SFU Woodward's, our
programming is overflowing in various venues in the Vancouver
area. Partners include many local artistic organisations and
venues: the vancouver Art Gallery, the Western Front, VIVO, MOV,
Grunt Gallery, Vancouver New Music, 221A, New Westminster New
Media Gallery, Fortune Sound System, amongst others. As such, we
believe that this event will exemplify SFU's vision of engaging
students, engaging research (both practice and theory), and
engaging the local, national and international communities. <br>
</p>
<p> ISEA2015 is a five-day symposium featuring over 500+ speakers,
presenting 19 workshops, 10 tutorials, papers, panels,
roundtables, posters, and demonstrations, and showcasing over
180 artworks ranging from large-scale interactive artworks to
cutting-edge electronic music performances. The theme of
ISEA2015 - Disruption - will allow re-examining and
re-negotiating the frontiers between the academic and the art
world, between practice and theory, between systems and reality,
between art and society. <br>
</p>
<p> To frame this dialogue, ISEA2015 will feature keynote
addresses by visionary pioneers such as Brian Massumi, Michael
Connor, Dominique Moulon, Hildegard Westerkamp and Sara Diamond.
The Yes Men will cloture the symposium with an address on the
use of creative expression for disruption and subversion. <br>
