ISEA2010 RUHR Conferences and Keynotes in Dortmund
From 23 to 27 August 2010, an international academic conference will bring
together more than one hundred speakers in Dortmund. All conference contributions have been selected in a peer-reviewing process by an international jury from over thousand proposals. The ISEA2010 RUHR Keynotes at Konzerthaus Dortmund will deal with current sociopolitical discourses at the intersection between politics, art and the information society.
