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 
<http://leoalmanac.org/resources/sprojects/ISEA08/themes.html>five 
themes 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

ISEA2008 in order to be considered for inclusion in the conference.
