JURISPRUDENCE SOUGHT . IDEA . CALLS FOR PARTICIPATION . PUBLICATIONS . EXHIBITIONS . PROJECTS . CALENDAR -------------------------------------------------------------------------- EDITORIAL Another milestone for the Inter-Society is approaching: the Fourth International Symposium on Electronic Art. The Final Program is impressive, and once again proves that the ISEA symposia are unique in the world. If you have any chance of being in Minneapolis during the first week ofNovember: get there! The Final Program is included in this newsletter. Since ISEA is an umbrella organization, we seek to recognize all the organizations and institutes that are active in the field of electronic art. So if you wish to introduce your group to the readers of the ISEA Newsletter, send us a contribution of about 250 words. However, note that our regular members come first. So why not make your group a Regular Member, when sending the text? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- STELARC USA/CANADA TOUR ISEA is investigating the possibility of organizing a USA/CANADA tour by Australian performance artist Stelarc in 1995. Stelarc is probably the most exiting performance artist in our electronic culture. The tour consists of both 'events' (performances) and, when desired, lectures. In order to assess the feasability of such a tour, we invite interested event organizers, universities, art schools, theaters, festivals, etc. to contact ISEA asap. Of course, contacting us implies no obligation whatsoever. Interested parties will receive more information. Tips on potentially interested third parties are appreciated. Artist Statement Stelarc is an Australian performance artist who uses prosthetics, robotics and virtual reality systems to create interactive multi-media events that interface human, machine and computer. Using bio-sensors, ultrasound transducers and photoelectric sensors, he acoustically amplifies brain waves, heartbeat, bloodflow, muscle signals and limb motion. His Third Hand is a robotic mechanism attached to his right arm (...). Recent projects include a Virtual Arm - a computer generated human-like manipulator actuated by a pair of data gloves. With a gesture recognition command language, it can be given extended functions (...). Wim van der Plas in the ISEA Newsletter: "The Stelarc events are a unique combination of sensational spectacle and subtle, almost fragile high art. It is the balance between the overwhelming sounds, lights, images, generated by the body on the one hand and the introvert choreography of Stelarc on the other that makes his performance so interesting. No artist alive is closer to the essence of the state that human evolution has reached, and knows how to express it." For a paper by Stelarc, see: SISEA Proceedings, Groningen, 1991.

The 5th International Symposium on Electronic Art will take place in Helsinki, Finland in 1994, August 23rd through 28th. ISEA'94 Helsinki will be a lively forum for scholars, artists, critics, scientists and educators, all those who share a professional interest in the electronic media. In addition to approximately 200 international participators, the organizers expect a total attendance of 10.000 visitors. FOCUS In addition to more general topics related to the electronic arts, the organizers of ISEA94 encourage discussion on four themes: -Spacescapes. Configurations of Space and Landscape in the Electronic Arts. The electronic arts create new sets of spatial concepts and experiences. ISEA94 assesses the aesthetic and social implications of this paradigm shift. The topics addressed may include: Spatial Aesthetics: topographies of art and experience; Merge - Immerse: the merging of human and electronic space and of inner and outer space; Programmed Spaces: the natural, cultural and social environments of the electronic era; Caught in a Net?: the hopes and fears of future network technology; etc. -High & Low. Cultural Histories of Technology. ISEA94 aims at a critical investigation of 'high' an'low', a pair of opposing terms used to designate both technology and culture. The topics addressed may include: High Tech vs. Low Tech, High Culture vs. Low Culture: a role for a technological cottage industry? The cultural history of the individual's response to media: high tech meets low human? Spectacular Technologies: historical perspectives on spectacle apparatus; etc. -The Next Generation Questions on the Future of Electronic Art. ISEA94 looks to the future of electronic media and its young users by focussing on questions of psychology, learning and ethics. The organizers encourage discussion on the following themes: Virtual Literacy: what are the narrative structures and patterns of reading brought about by multimedia and computers ? From Desktop to the Workroom: views of future interfaces; Interactivity or Interpassivity?: will interactivity pave the way to a technological paradise? What about the role of gender in interactive systems?; Game Aesthetics: Will computer games really advance learning? What about ethics in a world based on illusions? etc. -Electronic Arts In Universities. The Pedagogical Challenges of Electronic Media. The University of Art and Design UIAH will host an international meeting of teachers and students at the ISEA94 Symposium. The Electronic Arts at the Universities Session enhances the interchange of ideas between different universities and aims at a comparison of pedagogical ideologies and practices in electronic art education. SOUND & MUSIC ISEA94 wishes to lay stress on the importance of electronic sonic arts, from computer music to sound environments, from techno to radiophonics. The organizers encourage a wide participation of artists and specialists in this area.

CyberCulture Houston 93 will be the first annual exploration of computer art and of the social issues emerging in cyberspace. We hope to prove to the general public that creative behavior in the computer age is not limited to getting the best deal on the latest desk-top or avoiding Carpal-Tunnel Syndrome. At the same time, we hope to help this new medium gain greater acceptance and exposure in Houston's art community and the community at large. Categories of works shown will include: 1. Graphic stills projected from slides and in hard-format. The latter format is prefered, as we have a limited number of slide projectors. This category includes not only "traditional" art, but also creative ray-tracing and fractal generation. 2. Computer Animation in VHS format. Preferably more artistic than commer- cial. 3. Tangible works made with or from computer bodies and/or electronic components. 4. Performance art dealing with human-computer interface. 5. Electronic Zines under 30-40K shown in hard-copy . Also featured will be lectures and discussions on present and possible future issues related to this technology. Events will take place December 10th through 12th and the entries will be shown in the gallery for the next two weeks at Commerce Street Artist's Warehouse, 2315 Commerce, Houston Texas, USA.

Including a rich iconography this book is important for at least 2 reasons: - Examining the links and ruptures with the art of the beginning and middle of the 20th Century (Futurism, Constructivism, Conceptual Art, Cinetic Art, ...) it replaces electronic arts in the history of contem- poray art. - Overwiewing a rich panorama of the artistic creation in these fields, it shows the diversity of these artworks and that the question of the "Death of Contemporay Art" is in any case not an accurate one. Through 7 chapters : The Origins of Electronic Art/Laser Art and Holography/Video Art/Computer Art/Communication and Networking Art/Art, Nature and Science. The Social and Aesthetical issues of art in the electronic age, it constitutes a working tool and a didactic basis for all students in art studies and more for a general audience curious of contemporay arts.
