[PD-announce] ISEA2015 Vancouver: Call For Participation

[Megan te Boekhorst]

Good morning,


We invite you to participate in ISEA2015 in beautiful Vancouver, British
Columbia from August 14-19th!  Our Early Bird registration deadline will
close on July 15th, 2015, and we have a very exciting program planned.


ABOUT ISEA2015 Vancouver
20 years after its first occurrence in Montreal in 1995, the 21st
International Symposium on Electronic Arts (ISEA2015) returns to Canada.
Hosted by Simon Fraser University's School of Interactive Arts + Technology,
School for Contemporary Arts, and FCAT; ISEA2015 presents a rich academic
program rooted in both the humanities and sciences, as well as a
groundbreaking art program.


ISEA2015 is a six-day symposium featuring over 450 speakers, workshops,
tutorials, panels, papers and institutional presentations. It showcases over
180 artworks ranging from large-scale interactive installations to
cutting-edge electronic music performances. The theme of
ISEA2015‹Disruption‹encourages us to re-examine and re-negotiate the
frontiers between academia and art, practice and theory, systems and
reality, art and society.


Centered at SFU Woodward's downtown campus , ISEA2015¹s programming will
overflow to venues across Metro Vancouver. Partners include local artistic
organisations and venues such as the Vancouver Art Gallery, Western Front,
VIVO, the Museum of Vancouver, Grunt Gallery, Vancouver New Music, 221A, New
Westminster New Media Gallery, Fortune Sound Club, the New Forms Festival,
and more. 


ISEA2015 will explore subthemes around the potential of electronic arts to
reach out into the world and effect genuine change. These subthemes include
Climate Change, Disruption and Urban Landscapes, Contemporary Curatorial
Practices, Media Activism and Subversion, DIY Technology, BioArt, Sound
Ecology, Embodied Art Practices, Geopolitics, and more.


To frame the discussion around the artistic, scientific, technological, and
social manifestations of disruption as a cultural phenomenon, ISEA2015 will
feature keynote addresses by visionaries such as Brian Massumi, Michael
Connor, Dominique Moulon, Hildegard Westerkamp, and Sara Diamond. Master
disruptors The Yes Men will close the symposium with an address on the use
of creative expression for subversion and disruption.
