23rd Intl Symposium on Electronic Art
XVI Intl Image Festival
ISEA is one of the world’s most prominent international arts and technology events, bringing together scholarly, artistic, and scientific domains in an interdisciplinary discussion and showcase of creative productions applying new technologies in art, interactivity, and electronic and digital media.
ISEA2017 invites participants to reflect on the contributions that art, design, and technology provide as alternatives for social development based on respect for natural biodiversity and having pacific coexistence of the communities. ISEA2017 welcomes submissions in three broad categories: academic (papers, posters, panels, and roundtables), creative (artworks, installations, performances, and design cases) and learning (residence, workshops, tutorials, artist or designer talks, and institutional presentations).
SUBTHEMES
Bio-creation and data
Data is becoming pervasive in our daily lives. Scientists have used data and biological processes to create products and systems, while artists explore the aesthetics of technology, data and biology. How do artists integrate data and biological phenomenon in the creative process? In what ways do designers take advantage of large amounts of data to make decisions that affect sustainability and biodiversity?
Critical perspectives on the use of technology for peace
Technology is a potential tool that supports peace process and conflict resolution. What is the role of art and design in defining the use of technology to support peace and conflict resolution? Are there cultural identity tensions catalyzed by technologies? How can technology promote intercultural dialogues and durable peace?
Media art, landscape and heritage
ISEA2017 will take place in a region in Colombia known as the Coffee Cultural Landscape, declared as a world heritage site by UNESCO. We invite work that reflects on the conflict between media and heritage. How do artists and designers include heritage in their critical thinking and aesthetic decisions? How could media art help disseminate cultural values around peace? Does media art have the capacity to preserve heritage? Does conservation or cultural transformation generate conflict?
Interdisciplinary platforms for coexistence
Transdisciplinary teams collaborate to generate social and political content and debates. Artists, designers and scientists have tried to work together and get citizens involved with interactive technologies and media. Are these platforms showing paths for social coexistence? How transdisciplinary collaborations can generate social benefits? How can biological process be used as a source of inspiration and the generation of social possibilities for living in peace?
The cultural dimensions of bio-creation and peace
In recent times, pockets of peace across our planet have emerged and Colombia is one example. Does the idea of peace have a larger role to play than simply resolving conflict? In what ways could indigenous awareness contribute to our understanding of peace? What bridges in thought and action are needed to achieve global peace across cultural and transdisciplinary boundaries? Is bio-creation in conflict with, or in accord with, indigenous awareness of living organisms?
Design, Art, Science, and Technology
This subtheme is to open up participation for other authors that want to submit works to ISEA2017 and include a broad interdisciplinary discussion and showcase about interrelations among design, art, science and technology.
We invite scientists, artists, designers, and professionals to debate issues of design and creation. The official language of the event is English; submissions must be written in English. Authors will have the opportunity to give their oral presentations in Spanish; those presentations will be live translated to English for the audience.
ACADEMIC CALL
Papers are completed or ongoing research works with clear contributions (4-8 pages). Papers will have 20-minutes oral presentations with 5 minutes for questions and answers.
Posters are novel research ideas or exploratory work (proposal in 2 pages). Accepted posters proposals will be invited to submit poster with template provided.
Panels are moderator-led groups of 3–5 experts answering moderator and audience questions on a particular topic (proposal in 3 pages). Panels will have 1.5 hours of presentation and discussion.
