ISEA (International Symposium on Electronic Art)2006, an international
conference held in conjunction with ZeroOne San Jose: A Global Festival of
art on the Edge,
will be held in San Jose, CA, August 7-13 2006. Both events are "situated
at the critical intersection of art and technology." ISEA2006 re:mote is a
symposium
within ISEA2006 and is issuing a Call for Proposals.


ISEA2006 re:mote, August 10-12, 2006

International new media art discourse is stimulated by festivals and
events like ISEA2006 which form temporary cultural centers to represent,
present and discuss
networked and digital technologies. However by forming temporary centers
we also tacitly create a notion of a periphery - with temporary centers
also come
temporary peripheries. In new media culture this is a paradox as much new
media art, theory, and discourse reflects on the network itself and the
elusiveness and
redundancy of centers and peripheries.

ISEA2006 re:mote attempts to dissuade us from imposing these distinctions
by providing a platform for artists, commentators, curators, performers
and theorists to
participate in ISEA 2006 via online and pre-recorded media.

ISEA2006 re:mote Open Call

ISEA2006 re:mote is inviting media spaces and individual artists,
theorists, and curators from around the world to speak  or perform via
remote technologies to the
audience at ISEA. Presentations to be directed at the four themes of ISEA
2006. Participants are invited to present or perform on topics included
within the ISEA
symposium, and onsite audience interaction with the presenters is also
encouraged. ISEA re:mote will focus on presenting media spaces and people
that would
otherwise be excluded from presenting their work at ISEA due to financial,
political, or logistical reasons.

The length of each presentation can be negotiated, however, for now we
have set the maximum time limit of 20 minutes. Technologies used will be
up to each
presenter, the premise is that the technologies should be easy for you to
use and access and  ISEA2006 re:mote will manage the corresponding
technology
requirements as much as possible onsite at ISEA2006.  Live and
pre-recorded material can be included. Live presentations could use any
available technlogies
including voice technologies such as Skype/OpenWengo/Gizmo/Linphone/Ekiga
or other softphones, audio or video streams, video conferencing with
softwares like
ichatAV/Ekiga/Skype/OpenWengo, web cams, shared desktops using softwares
like VNC/RemotePC or Remote Desktop, text chats such as irc or webchats,
avatar
environments, gaming environments, or even the telephone! In situations
where your available bandwidth is limited or restricted, delivery of
digital presentation
material (audio/video) can be delivered electronically or posted by
traditional mail. In all situations online presence of the presenters
would be beneficial, this
may take the form of IM, irc or other text based chat technologies if
'realtime' audio or video communications are not possible. Creative use of
remote
presentation technologies is encouraged!

Time slots have to be negotiated, but we are willing to bend as much as we
can to include as many people as possible from various time zones.
Unfortunately there
are no honoraria available for this event.

ISEA2006 will feature four themes: Interactive City, Community Domain,
Transvergence, and Pacific Rim. Please see the following links for further
information on
each on the themes:
