*Call for Papers, Panels and Artist Presentations*
We cordially invite submissions to the conference of the International
Symposium on Electronic Art 2008 that will be held in Singapore between 25th
& 30th July 2008. The conference is held alongside workshops, courses,
exhibitions, performances and other in-conjunction events that will be held
for the duration of ISEA2008 from 25th July to August 3rd 2008.

The conference, as in previous ISEAs, is expected to bring together artists,
theorists, historians, curators and researchers of media arts from around
the world to jointly explore the most urgent and exciting questions in the
field. The five
themes<http://leoalmanac.org/resources/sprojects/ISEA08/themes.html>of
ISEA2008 are especially focused on eliciting a wide range of
international scholars and artists.

*Conference Programme*
The conference programme will include competitively selected, peer-reviewed
*individual papers* and *panel presentations*. This year we are also
encouraging artists who wish to share their works with a broader audience of
their peers to submit *artist presentations* where they can speak about the
specific aesthetic, conceptual and technological aspects of their works. The
conference also promises to present a list of internationally renowned *Keynote
Speakers* expounding on the major themes of the conference. There will also
be a special lecture delivered by a Nobel Laureate.

*Call for Proposals*
We welcome contributions from creative practitioners and researchers from a
variety of disciplines and institutional contexts as media arts benefits
from and exemplifies the interdisciplinary linkages between contemporary
art, science, technology and their related philosophies, pedagogies and
institutional practices. The submissions must address or be of relevance to
at least one of the themes of ISEA2008 in order to be considered for
inclusion in the conference. The conference will be of interest to those
working in but not limited to the following areas: media art, contemporary
art, design, art history and theory, film and media studies, gaming, toy
design, human-computer interaction, cultural studies, literary studies,
musicology, sound studies, theatre, dance and performance studies, science,
technology and society studies, history of science and history of
technology, philosophy, history, gender studies, political science,
anthropology, sociology and geography. *

panel presentations and artist presentations to be submitted in either Text,
