ISEA/ISAST MEETING AT SIGGRAPH
Wim van der Plas

     During SIGGRAPH, the international conference on Computer Graphics
and Interactive Techniques, this year from 1-6 August in Los Angeles, the
Inter-Society for the Electronic Arts and ISAST (International Association
for the Arts, Science & Technology) held a public joint meeting. This
meeting has become an annual tradition, since it was first held in 1990.
There were almost 100 people present. However, a public meeting of the
SIGGRAPH Art Committee, that was staged at the same time, suffered from
a very small attendance. A sorry case of bad planning, but it does prove
that our work is recognized as being important.

     Wim van der Plas presented a short history of both the Inter-Society
and the ISEA symposia, stressing the fact that we need membership  fees in
order to survive and announcing a policy of making more institutes,
organizations and relevant companies Institutional Members. These
Institutional Members must also get a chance to present themselves during
the symposia. After all, ISEA is ment to be an umbrella organization,
bringing not just individuals together, but also organizations. This
includes  commercial companies, that must have no problem paying the fee
for Institutional Members ($100 or more). All participants of the meeting
(and of course, all readers of the ISEA  Newsletter) that have a connec-
tion  with a relevant organization are requested to help out.

     Roman Verostko gave an overview of the state of affairs concerning
FISEA93, the Fourth International Symposium on Electronic Art. He received
some 500 proposals all together, which showed an increasing interest in
the symposia. For example, SISEA (1990) received only 300 proposals. "It
is going to be a very interesting symposium", Roman stressed, "we have
papers on subjects like Multi Media Art, Art Networking and the Human Soul
/ Machine relation. Some of the major theaters of Minneapolis will be
used, and participants will be transported by shuttle bus. If you want to
join one of the workshops, you have to be quick to enrol; many local
people are enrolling, and there is a tight limit to the number of possible
participants". There will be a Communication Space at FISEA93, where
equipment will be available (CD-i, CD-ROM, video players, computers with
Internet access, etc). Presentations can be organized there, books can be
sold. The Minneapolis College of Art and Design is sponsoring FISEA93.
Since it is the only sponsor, registration fees will be very important to
balance the budget. However, there will be reductions for speakers (30%),
ISEA members (10%) and students and student groups. For more info on
FISEA93, see elsewhere in this Newsletter.

     Minna Tarkka presented the plans for ISEA94 on behalf of the
University  for Industrial Arts, Helsinki. ISEA94 will be held in August
(approximately one month after SIGGRAPH 94), so that reasonable weather
can be expected in Helsinki. Preparation for this symposium is well
underway. The well designed Call for Papers & Participation has been
printed and mailed world-wide.
Themes include the history of electronic technology (and it's artistic
use), the space and landscapes in virtual worlds, the next generation,
design of computer games, etc. ISEA94 intends to devote special efforts at
involving participants from the former Sowjet Union.

     Henry See, independent artist from Montreal, presented plans for
ISEA95. The organizing committee for this symposium consists of represen-
tants of 4 universities and several artists.  Besides a region with a
tradition in communication theory (McLuhan, Gould, a.o.), the french
-speaking city of Montreal considers itself to be a sort of gateway
between the U.S.A. and Europe. A representative of the Canadian
government's Department of Communication has contacted the organizing
committee and promised support. In return for this extensive financial
and material aid, the government expects the symposium to have not a
regional, but a national scale.  Already several important museums in the
cities of Montreal, Quebec and Ottawa have made commitments to ISEA95.

     On behalf of ISAST and it's journal, Leonardo, Roger Malina spoke
next. From now on, Leonardo will be published by MIT press and so will the
Leonardo Electronic News (LEN).  This will become more of a Journal
(instead of a Newsletter) and it will be distributed electronically, but
not for free. 'Words on Work' by Judy Malloy will remain a substantial
contribution to LEN, and it will start to serve as a 'who is who' in
electronic art. LEN is, and will be editted by Craig Harris.

     Paul Brown in the mean time, will continue publishing Fine Art Forum
(FAF), the (electronic and free) newsletter of ASTN, the Art, Science  &
Technology Network, ISEA's sister organization. Paul told the audience
that FAF has a content limit of 25K bytes, but  there is now a FTP data
base in the FAF index, so that one can acquire all information available.
Gopher, the navigation aid on Internet, will also be useful here: in about
two months there will be a Gopher version of FAF.
In the future the Mosaic software, developed by the National Center for
Super Computing Applications, will be on top of Gopher. This software is
hyper linked, and it will be possible to download images, sound and even
video. The ISEA Newsletter is trying to work out an even closer cooper-
ation with FAF in the future.

        Simon Penny, chair of the SIGGRAPH 93 Art Show and board member
of ISEA, announced the publication of an Anthology of Critical Issues in
Electronic Media. The compilation of this book was inspired by ISEA and
the symposia.

     Jim Demmers, of Public Domain pointed attention to this small
organization of artists in Atlanta. They publish a journal that appears
about once a year and they OWN a Sun mini computer - this machine was
donated, and is available for artists who can obtain an account on this
machine. (Info: jdemmers@noel.pd.org)

     Machiko Kusahara reported on a group of Japanese electronic artists,
of which she is a member. Since 1990, the group has organized collective
exhibitions, and produced many fine catalogues. The group had an ISDN
exchange with Scotland and is looking for more opportunities to exchange
images via ISDN.

     Rejane Spitz announced her intention to stage an ISEA symposium
in Brazil. ISEA has received much press attention in Brazil, since Rejane
heads the South American branch of the Inter-Society. However, the Brazil
symposium cannot be realized without outside help, since Brazil lacks the
funds.  The idea was applauded by the audience.

     Tim Druckrey proposed an ISEA symposium to be held in New York.
Earlier (not during the panel), a proposal for ISEA, Munich (Germany) was
announced, as well as a proposal for an ISEA in London in the U.K. Since
the Inter-Society aims at staging the symposia variously in Europe and on
other continents, the future looks bright until about the year 2000.

FOURTH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ELECTRONIC ART: THE ART FACTOR
Roman Verostko
FISEA 93, November 3-7  1993, Minneapolis, USA.

THE MEETING OF SOUL AND MACHINE
Cyberspace yields to sacred space in this year's electronic international.
Brenda Laurel treads where angels fear by addressing the "The Soul and the
Machine: Artists and Technologists in Collaboration". Expect this subject
to explode at FISEA 93 with "COLLABORATION" emerging as a transforming
frontier.

Look for cliches to crunch and crash during two days of papers and panels.
Expect some long held assumptions about art to wilt in a fully extravagant
day of innovative "projects and applications".
Sanctuaries for machine-soul encounters include the Walker Art Center
(electronic theater), the U of M's Tedd Mann Concert Hall (live perfor-
mance), and the MCAD Gallery (art show). Applications include artificial
life, virtual reality, automata, networking, body and sound arts. Watch
for some old votive lights to fade at this Fourth International in Min-
neapolis. Attend this growing "ecclesia" and experience transforming
hyperspace with your own eyes and ears!

BEYOND THE BOOK: COMPUTER BASED LITERATURE
At this year's Fourth International Symposium on Electronic Art expect a
fresh array of projects and applications. Here's one under way already
thanks to the energy and planning of Judith Kerman and her colleagues.
Here's how they plan inquiry "Beyond the Book"
What goes on "beyond the book?" What does the computer make possible in
literature that can be done without it? When is it literature? Hypertext
or "horrortext?" Four working writers will discuss and demonstrate com-
puter-based poetry and fiction, primarily hypertexts, and related software
tools in a freewheeling double Projects and Applications session on Sunday
morning. We will make mini-presentations, have an intens conversation and
let people stop by to listen in, chime in and try out the . . . software?
"texts"? whatever-ya-callems. We will facilitate exploration and debate on
these questions, not pronounce on them, and solicit opinion from people
working in other genres. Issues we want to explore include aesthetics,
developing useful critical discourse, creating an audience, and platform
obsolescence. Y'all come!
Presenters:
Judith Kerman, Saginaw Valley State University, MI. KERMAN@tardis.svsu.edu
Richard Gess, Emory University, GA. LIBGESS@emuvm1.cc.emory.edu
Robert Drake, Cleveland State University, OH. AU462@cleveland.freenet.edu
Anita Stoner, Syracuse University, NY. AJSTONER@mailbox.syr.edu

Our current thoughts on intersting questions:
(1) DEFINING THE AESTHETIC/S: What aesthetic structures are implied or
imposed by various tools (including StorySpace, Hypercard, COLLOQUY,
multimedia)?  Are different issues raised for "poetry" and "prose" (or
maybe lyric and narrative) and what are they?  What happens to the act of
"reading"?  What are the implications of interactivity for the questions
of authorship and audience?  Where do sound, graphics and animation fit
into "literature"?  What does have film to tell us about these questions?
Are interactive forms "texts" (in the older sense) or "performances"?

(2) DISTRIBUTIONS AND AUDIENCE: How do we/can we reach or create our
audience? What lessons can we derive from the struggle between the small-
press paradigm and the best-seller paradigm (or independent film vs.
Hollywood blockbuster - pick your medium).

(3) AESTHETIC PRACTICE: HYPERTEXT OR "HORRORTEXT?"  What kinds of aes-
thetic choices by artists make these new forms work and which are merely
conservative reflexes? How do we develop aesthetic standards. a genuine
criticism, useful to both artists and readers?

(4) PLATFORMS AND OBSOLESCENCE: How vulnerable is the form to the obsoles-
cence of the platforms and operating systems? Are we making lasting work
or ephemera? Will the future of today's electronic writing depend on some
kind of ongoing conversion as platform evolve (and if so, who makes the
decisions about what gets preserved?), or some library- or museum-based
preservation of dead tech? Is computer-based literature, particulary in
its interactive forms, more vulnerable than other arts to these issues?

Want to get the discussion going ahead of time? Send comments to
KERMAN@tardis.svsu.edu for distribution to the rest of our group. We are
also looking for a list to post this discussion to - suggestions welcome.

posium on Electronic Art. For regsitrationnn an program information:

INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON KNOWLEDGE TECHNOLOGY IN THE ARTS (IAKTA/LIST)
Yoshiyuki Abe

Following the 1993 ICMC in Tokyo, Japan, a workshop on Knowledge Tech-
nology in the Arts will be held in Osaka on September 16. Osaka is 3 hours
from Tokyo by train, and 1 hour by plane. The workshop is sponsored by the
International Association for Knowledge Technology in the Arts, IAKTA,
Inc., Boston, MA, USA and Laboratories of Image Information Science and
Technology, Osaka, Japan (Haruhiro Katayose, Workshop Coordinator).

As fields of computer-art, all of the arts have come to share more than
they used to in the past. This is the case since interactive processes,
in whatever medium, have much in common, especially in terms of com-
positional strategy and the restructuring of aesthetic materials by way of
computers. The present generation of artists, in whatever aesthetic
medium, is striving to harness new technology to their pursuits, and to
invent new artistic forms that could not be realized without the assis-
tance of technology.

It is one of the special opportunities when working with knowledge tech-
nology in the arts that the tools used are equally of interest for pur-
poses of theory and of practice. This symbiosis of theory and practice is
one of the real advantages of working with knowledge technology. On the
one hand, as practitioners artists need theory to aid them in their
insight into their own process; on the other hand, esthetics and the
theory of arts can greatly benefit from the documenting and monitoring
abilities of computer technology, since for the first time in history,
those abilities make it possible to study artistic work empirically.

GOETHE ART PROJECT '93:
Yoshiyuki Abe

From August 28, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's birthday on, we will start an
exhibition of Goethe Art Project '93. This year, Takehisa Kosugi, an
extraordinary sound artist is to create his new installations imagina-
tively linked with Goethe's "Metamorphose Theory" at Tokyo Goethe Gallery.

Since 1990, we have invited eight artists of painting, photography, video
and electronics who are interested in creatively coupling Goethe's idea
with today's cultural actuality and have provided them our spaces and
facilities.
Goethe Art Project is an attempt to develop our activity toward more
creative directions than a wait-on library service.  We believe that
our collections and spaces encourage not only scholars but also artists.

Tokyo Goethe Gallery has been established in 1949 as a foundation to
collect materials on Goethe and to support cultural activities on/under
his influence.  After a long career of library service in Shibuya-ku,
we moved to the present housing with exhibit spaces at Nishigahara,
Kita-ku in 1988. We consistently follow our non-profit policy.
