We understand ISEA2010 as a platform for new developments in electronic art and digital culture, where artists and researchers can present their current projects.

During the preparations, we have set two main research themes; these are not the
programme themes for the festival, but they suggest the trajectories along which we have been doing some of our curatorial research, looking for projects, and developing the programme of keynotes and performances:

* Ecologies
Keywords: resources, sustainability, irreversibility, recycling, consumption, pollution, trash, spam, media ecology, free software, open hardware, knowlegde commons, diversity, access, low tech, urbanity, periphery, passages, intimacy

* Expanded Sounds
Keywords: electronic sounds, hybrids, image&sound, synaesthesia, immersion, expanded acoustics, body, space/time experience, sensory overload, sensory deprivation, sound pollution, silence, performance, live-ness, language, conversation.

Please, don't hesitate to submit projects that do not fit these research themes.
