Theme
Electronic Art Resistance is Futile
The 19th International Symposium on Electronic Art will comprise engaging
presentations and thought-provoking speakers and discussions. Join us for
informed dialogues, dynamic debates, enlightening keynotes and experimental
incursions into the extensive and diverse practice of electronic media arts.
We are keen to connect and intertwine the conference sessions with the wider
artistic program, and we are looking for a variety of formats and engagement
for presenters and participants to ensure a high quality of thought,
deliberation and discussion. Our vision for the conference is to provide
sessions with genuine engagement. We ask that our delegates think
differently about how they envisage the format of their presentation. To aid
this, we have outlined a number of formats for you to choose from.

ŒResistance is Futile¹
The cutting edge of digital art has moved from the margins to become part of
the fabric of everyday life. At once ubiquitous and unnoticed, resistance
to electronic art has proven futile ‹ it now lies embedded in the heart of
our contemporary cultures. The symposium events will infuse the city¹s
social, digital and physical infrastructure. ISEA2013 aims to create a fluid
body of thought, culture, community, industry, science and technology.
Artists play an important role in this ³cutting edge.² By creatively
investigating the possibilities and pushing the limits of new technologies,
artists help us imaginatively experience and critically reflect on their
implications for life in the 21st century. Digital electronic art is our
source of innovation, the new norm in everything from publishing to TV, to
radio, games, film, fashion, music, architecture, design, applications and
gadgets. Ubiquitous and pervasive, digital media permeates almost all
creative endeavors in everyday life and the city. The urban spaces of Sydney
will provide the scene for thinking through the consequences of digital
life, creative industries, and contemporary electronic art practice.
