Nagoya area during the time of ISEA2002.

ISEA2002 is committed to hosting an inclusive event, encompassing the
many trends in electronic art throughout the world, including those with
limited access to the latest technology and those working from a
cultural context, which may be unfamiliar to the reviewers. Submissions
to ISEA2002 from those who believe that a fuller understanding of the
context of their work is needed for proper evaluation may attach
supplemental information. Please mark this material clearly as
supplemental. Members from communities that traditionally have been
under-represented at ISEA are encouraged to identify the new
perspectives that they can bring to ISEA2002.

TARGET GROUPS

from specialists to the general public. ISEA2002 will offer Papers,

ISEA is committed to interdisciplinary and cross-cultural
communication/cooperation between the arts and the fields of new media
technology, science, education and industry. The aim of the symposium
and the parent organization (also called ISEA) is to systematically
investigate the problems and potentials of electronic art and to further
inter-disciplinary and inter-organizational cooperation. For the purpose
of
the symposium, Electronic Arts is defined as 'all art forms that use
electronic technology as an essential prerequisite for their
production'.
The symposium will be held from Sunday, October 27th to Thursday,
October 31st in Nagoya, Japan.

THEME
[Orai] is a Japanese word that has many interpretations. It refers to
comings and goings, communication, and contact, as well as streets and
traffic. About 200 years ago, a book titled Nagoya Orai was compiled and
published in Nagoya, which was used as a kind of textbook for teaching,
writing, and development of literacy. Through discussions around art and
its inter-disciplinary studies, ISEA2002 NAGOYA [Orai] hopes to provide
an opportunity to create a new text and explore new forms of literacy in
the electronically networked society.

TOPICS
Topics include theory, Internet & electronic society, art, design,
architecture & urbanism, music, performing arts, programming & software,

education & literacy as well as the 2002 special topics, [Orai].

CALL FOR PAPERS ISEA2002 SYMPOSIUM

ISEA2002 invites Papers to be given during the symposium. Proposals for
Panels, Round Tables, Poster Sessions and Institutional
Presentations are also welcome. All proposals must be directly related
to the aforementioned topics. Proposals that relate to the special
topics [Orai] are especially encouraged.

-Papers can be short (20 minutes) or long (45 minutes). The Papers will
be published in the ISEA2002 Proceedings, to be published for the event.
All Papers must be original, unpublished and in English. Please note
that only an abstract (maximum 500 words, both formats) is required by
the deadline (March 20, 2002)

After an initial screening, the pre-selected authors will be requested
to send their full materials, including illustrations.
-Panel proposals should contain a description of the planned panel
members.
-Round Tables are discussions that any participant can join (sign-up
during the symposium), so no description of the planned panel members is
required.
-Poster Sessions are rather informal presentations of research or art
practice, with the aid of audio-visual equipments. They are not meant as

performances but as presentations of interesting examples in order to
trigger discussion.
-Institutional Presentations are meant to introduce institutes,
organizations, festivals etc in the field of the electronic arts. In
principle, all relevant proposals will be accepted, but it must be noted
that presenters in this category have no free admission to the
symposium.

WORKSHOPS AND TUTORIALS
During the ISEA2002 symposium, practitioners and educators will have the
opportunities to share information through a series of workshops and
tutorial sessions. Workshops involve the guided development of ideas and
exploration of specific theoretical and practical topics in arts and
technology. Likewise, tutorials offer the chance for students and
educators to learn programs and techniques in a classroom setting.
Proposals should include which format is desired, a concise description
of the given workshop or tutorial class, the number of participants
envisioned to participate, as well as a clearly defined listing of
resources (technical and physical) required.
