ISEA is ...

The International Symposium on Electronic Art is one of the most important festivals for digital and electronic art. Being one of the projects of RUHR.2010 European Capital of Culture, the symposium will be held in Germany for the first time this year! At several venues in the cities of Dortmund, Essen and Duisburg, the festival presents current works and debates in Media Art worldwide. To that end, international artists and scholars will meet in the Ruhr metropolitan area. More than one hundred speakers will present recent developments in contemporary art and digital culture and exchange ideas with local creatives.

ISEA2010 RUHR is one of the first international opening events for the new Dortmund U - Centre for Art and Creativity where the exhibitions will be hosted. In three phases the festival will stretch out across the Ruhr region. The opening weekend from 20 to 22 August 2010 at PACT Zollverein in Essen includes an international performance and workshop programme. Dortmund will be the main venue for the ISEA2010 RUHR conferences and a week-long music programme from 23 to 27 August 2010. Focusing on sound, light and ecological aspects, the festival will end with art in public space and thematically framed conference panels on the weekend of 28 to 29 August 2010 in Duisburg.
