> 'I will be on the ferry because when I attended the ISEA94 in
> Helsinki, as
> a part of the conference we also had a 3 day ferry trip to St.
> Petersburg.
> It was the best conference experience I had in my life!'

> ISEA2004 CONFERENCE OUTLINES ANNOUNCED
>
> ISEA2004 conferences in Helsinki and Tallinn, and on a luxurious
> cruiser
> ferry connecting them, are key elements of the 12th International
> Symposium
> on Electronic Arts (August 14th-22nd). ISEA2004 starts with the
> electrified
> Interfacing Sound cruise from Helsinki to Stockholm, after which the
> Networked Experience cruise from Stockholm to Tallinn via Mariehamn
> inspires a range of panels, poster sessions and workshops. Networking
> sessions will also, for example, be hosted by the French Ministry of
> Foreign Affairs and the Asia Europe Foundation.
>
> After two dazzling nights on the ferry, ISEA2004 participants convene
> in
> Tallinn to cover the themes of Wearable Experience, Geopolitics of
> Media
> and Critical Interdisciplines: research/science, art and
> collaboration.
> Wearable technologies are explored through project presentations of
> state-of-the art ubiquitous computing in fashion and cultural
> practices.
> Issues of technology and embodiment provide a critical context to this
> discussion. Geopolitics of media looks at the ways in which new media
> practices reflect diverse media geographies and their relation to real
> life
> locations, globalization and activism. Part of the agenda of ISEA2004
> is to
> assess where new media culture and arts are at the moment. To this end
> the
> Critical Interdisciplines theme digs deep into the questions of
> relationships of computer engineering, design, media studies,
> anthropology
> and new theories emanating from natural sciences in relation to
> networked
> and other new media practices. Tallinn keynote speakers include Arturo
> Escobar (Colombia/USA) and Sarah Kember (UK).
>
> After Tallinn sessions, ISEA2004 culminates in Helsinki, exactly ten
> years
> after ISEA94, when the net was still an emergent field. This time
> Wireless
> Experience, Histories of the New, Open Source and Software as Culture
> and
> Critical Interaction Design will be explored.
>
> Wireless experience maps current emerging cultural and social
> practices of
> mobile and other wireless media such as radio and WiFi networks. A key
> theme is how wireless experience is enabling new ways to approach urban
> cultures and turn public spaces into "writable and participatory
> media".
> Histories of the new is a key theme to unravel not only the recent ten
> years of change within the Networked experience, but to look at diverse
> local histories of creative "new" media use since the 1960s. The theme
> also
> explores the very logic of how new technologies become integrated into
> the
> social and the cultural "sediments" of everyday life experience.
>
> Critical interaction design seeks to foreground critical discourse and
> work
> around sensitive, contextual, critical work on interactivity. It is
> also a
> platform for dialogue bringing together interface designers, computer
> scientists, media and cultural theorists as well as media artists (who
> are
> often hybrids of these). Open source software as culture addresses
> politics, economical or legal logic, and various cultural and social
> politics regarding open source, and software at large. The theme
> positions
> software as a cultural and a political object and as a subject for
> debate.
> Helsinki keynotes include Erkki Huhtamo (Finland/USA), Wendy Hui Kyong
> Chun
> (USA), Shuddhabrata Sengupta (India) and Matthew Fuller (UK).
