ISEA2006 Symposium Papers Online Forum.
April 24th – May 29th.

ISEA2006 is taking place in San Jose, California, August 7-13. See  
http://01sj.org for more information about the Symposium and related  
ZeroOne San Jose Festival.

Beginning Monday, April 24th, ISEA2006 will host a month long series  
of discussions on the accepted paper abstracts for each of the  
Symposium themes:  Interactive City, Community Domain, Pacific Rim  
and Transvergence. See http://01sj.org/content/blogcategory/138/147/  
for an overview.

An important objective to ISEA2006 is enabling conversation and  
discourse between audience(s) and presenters.  Toward that objective  
this years ISEA incorporates a single main track of presentations +  
artists presentations combined with a pre-publishing model.  The  
reading of papers is not permitted.  Instead authors will present  
their abstracts in the on-line Forum and then pre-publish full  
manuscripts weeks prior to the Symposium.  The goal is to inform and  
influence both authors and audiences as well as create conversational  
relationships and provide for advanced consideration of topics to be  
presented at the Symposium.  At ISEA2006 each theme will have two  
extended ‘conversational’ sessions in which several authors present  
summaries of their papers followed by a moderated conversation and  
audience interaction.

An important role in the Symposium and Forum is that of the  
Moderator. We have invited a group of prestigious Moderators who will  
facilitation of individual sessions of the Online Forum and Symposium.

ISEA2006 Symposium

The 2006 edition of the internationally renowned ISEA Symposium will  
be held August 7-13, 2006, in San Jose, California in conjunction  
with the inauguration of ZeroOne San Jose: A Global Festival of Art  
on the Edge, a milestone festival to be held biennially.

The 13th International Symposium on Electronic Art (ISEA2006) focuses  
on the critical, theoretical and pragmatic exploration of four  
important themes <http://01sj.org/content/blogcategory/105/30/> :  
Transvergence <http://01sj.org/content/blogcategory/26/71/> ,  
Interactive City <http://01sj.org/content/blogcategory/23/68/> ,  
Community Domain <http://01sj.org/content/blogcategory/24/69/>  and  
Pacific Rim <http://01sj.org/content/blogcategory/25/70/>

What tactics, issues and conceptual practices expose or inform the  
distinctions of these subject terrains relating to contemporary art  
practice? What analyses illuminate art practice engaged with new  
technical and conceptual forms, functions and disciplines; provide  
for innovative tactical implementations of cultural production  
involving urbanity, mobility, community and locality; examine the  
roles and responsibilities of corporations, civic and cultural  
organizations, discuss strategic and economic planning as it relates  
to creative community; serve to expose new portals of production and  
experience; provide for interpretive bridges between cultures and  
identities; and provide for provocative examination of contemporary  
political and economic conditions? How is new media art practice re- 
shaping the world?

The ISEA2006 Symposium is an international platform for artists,  
cultural producers, media theorists, curators and the general public  
to share the latest ideas and practices involving new media. Enabling  
discourse across disciplines, ideologies and philosophical frameworks  
is an important objective as is the facilitation of discussion and  
conversation. Audience participation is facilitated through expanded  
moderated sessions, an afternoon Poster Session/Reception and through  
an on-line forum featuring the pre-published abstracts and papers.
