EDITORIAL
Wim van der Plas
The short discussion in INL23 re the format of the ISEA symposia
and the paper selection process has been continuing via Email.
Our intention was to print a summary of the discussion in this
Newsletter. However, there is a personal report of the last
symposium (FISEA93, Nov 3-7) by our Japanese correspondent Yoshi
Abe in this issue, as well as a summary of the evaluation by the
participants. We do not want to fill the entire Newsletter with
ISEA symposia related matters, so we have decided to postpone the
public discussion to the next issue.
But that is not all. Anyone with access to Email can request a
copy of the discussion-so-far from ISEA. One of the points raised
in that discussion, is a proposal to structure an ongoing discourse
on the net. ISEA94 (Helsinki), is now setting up such a facility,
in order to be able to organize the best symposium ever held,
next August. The announcement follows the FISEA93 evaluation
in this Newsletter.
A comment on all this: Although it is getting easier to get
access to the net, it is still not common for European artists to
have Email. In a country like Greece, it is still practically
impossible, so we are told. Not to mention the Third World. ISEA
chairman Theo Hesper, who is living in Indonesia, still is not on
the net, although he has been trying to for several years.
OK, let's have Email discussions. But let's also make sure the
rest of the electronic art community is not left out. That is why
we print this Newsletter and airmail it all over the world. Which
brings me to the same old point: your membership fees pay for the
production and distribution of the hard copy. If you're still an
associate member, become a regular one. If you are connected to an
institute (especially an institute that has a library), make it
an institutional member.

Report on FISEA 93
Yoshiyuki Abe
Fifty minute walk in the snow without coat, temp was -5C, was a terrible
and fantastic experience in Minneapolis. I was lost on the way to Walker
Art Center from MCAD and was surprised to find the residents within half a
mile from the world famous museum didn't know where it's located. The
symposium, however, was warm enough for participants with good hospitality
of the staff.
Paper/Panel sessions collected presenters from varied genres and realized
an electronic art conference. The mixture of creators, researchers and
critics was a very positive feature of the conference. They had attractive
titles and were actually good sessions. In the plenary gathering on
the fifth day, there was a discussion on the paper/panel sessions as
reported in the ISEA Newsletter #23. In fact, some presentations were
"Reading the text" or "Speech without AV effect", but I'm not interested
in that kind of discussion, because what I expect is not the presentation
skill but the contents. I just mention that the reading type presenters
frequently quoted and that gave a little bit boring impression in some
cases. Audience always want to hear the presenters' own words.
Despite the narrow and complicated space of exhibition site often negated
the impression of each work, I took pleasure in the exhibition. One of
most impressive works was, by its powerful social message, Bruce Shapiro's
engraved plate. It's motivated by a murder case, a majority of US people
maybe call it an accident, of a Japanese student that was shot in Baton
Rouge, Louisiana. The case and the verdict reminded us Japanese of the
great importance of cross-cultural understanding and the fact of it's
difficulty too. Bruce's work and short talking with Craig Ede on the
subject encouraged me to make efforts to establish a more close contact
with USA.
Unfortunately, I missed the Sound event and half of the program of the
Electronic Theater. Performance programs showed practical applications
with electronics and computer. Homer G. Lambrecht organized a fantastic
stage with leading artists.
Fax exhibition proved that a collection of images from different senders
can be a quality collaborative work. This kind of project seems a strong
directorship is required or it'll easily become a bunch of junk papers.
I believe the Poster Sessions (Projects & Applications) are the most
important sessions in the ISEA symposia. FISEA 93 programmed 7 presenters
in parallel and this provided easy hopping to each presentation. To
realize the aim of ISEA, or to provide a place of cross-disciplinary
interaction, it's extended programming will be expected in future. For
non-native speakers, a one-on-one basis or small party is easier to
communicate with.
I pointed to some negatives here but the symposium succeeded undoubtedly.
Third and Fourth are important stages for these projects and many con-
ferences/festivals have lost the energy and disappeared after second or
third stages. The success in Minneapolis convinced us of the bright future
of this series.
Many thanks to Roman, Alice and all staff of FISEA 93 for the effort.
I had a good time in Minneapolis, and all who attended seemed to have so.
We left MPLS with warm memories.

FISEA93 EVALUATION
An evaluation of FISEA93 was conducted during the final session
(the ISEA Panel). 43 forms were returned. The results of the
evaluation are very useful to the directors of next year's
symposium. We would like to thank all respondents.
Joan Klaiber summarized the results. Wim van der Plas tried to
make a fair selection from the remarks.

DIDN'T LIKE (Papers & Panels Sessions):
- The venue (the Minneapolis Hilton)-- The pomp and starch of the
place
- Need more time for interaction/dialog, Back to back papers all
day long--should intersperse papers with active things
- Sculpture panel, Hyper culture panel, Jan Hoet
- All the free-floating ego/pretentious attitude of "artists"
- Too much Mondo 2000; ISEA folks seem lost in the hype like
everyone else
- People presenting documentation of their latest show without
having symposium-worth ideas

Comments and Suggestions (general):
o Need more emphasis on practitioners talking on their own work;
poster sessions were insufficient
o Need more interaction/discussion, Must try harder to develop
into a major interactive conference
o Offer courses to teach musicians about graphics and visual
artists about music--let's break down the walls that separate
these disciplines at theses conferences
o Good mix, ranging from stodgy to cyber-punk
o More panels; less papers
o Any way to delineate between what are essentially demos of new
technical and substantial discourses on aesthetic and technical issues?
...or eliminate the former
o How about a section on new applications of "old" technology
o Allow for cross-categories, like painting/computing
o I liked this better than Ars Electronica
o Recruit younger, more daring artists
o More "hands-on" exhibits and workshops
o Experiment more with form of conference sessions
o Should be more public involvement
o Nice family feeling about the conference
o Well-run event
o Too expensive

ISEA ONLINE
Susanna Koskinen
ISEA ONLINE 1 January 1994, Internet
Beginning 1st January 1994 there will be an online discussion forum for
topics of ISEA'94 - The 5th International Symposium on Electronic Art. It
is a lively forum for discussion prior to the artistic event in Helsinki,
Finland in August. The online conference can be reached from throughout
the world, wherever there is an access to Internet. It will contain all
the information about ISEA'94, an ongoing discussion with a hypertext
interface and possibility to view audio and image information.
The aim of ISEA ONLINE is to go deep into the discussion already by the
time of the conference. We are also trying to involve different dis-
ciplines to attend, because the issues do not only concern those already
working in electronic media, but are becoming more and more relevant to
everyone. As electronic forms of information are defining our mental and
physical environment, they have become the focus of our culture. In course
of the discussion various points of view can be brought up, fought out and
developed further.
This collision of different points of view is the actual subject of
ISEA'94.
THE TOPICS OF ISEA'94
SPACESCAPES
The electronic arts create new sets of spatial concepts and experiences.
ISEA'94 assesses the aesthetic and social implications of this paradigm
shift. The topics addressed may include:
Merge - Immerse: the merging of human body and electronic space and of
inner and outer space.
Programmed Spaces: the natural, cultural and social environments of the
electronic era. Post-biological existance in the age of HIV.
The pleasure of living in the reconstructed nature: The role of design,
architecture and ecology in defining the environment.
Spatial Aesthetics: topographies of art and experience.
HIGH & LOW
ISEA'94 aims at a critical investigation of 'high' and 'low', a pair of
opposing terms used to designate both technology and culture.
Spectacular Technologies: historical perspectives on spectacle apparatus
The cultural history of the individual's response to media: high tech
meets low human? The artist and the technomarket: avant-garde or adver-
tising? Military technology or ecology as the forerunner of technology?
Gender in extinction
ISEA'94 GAME ARCADE: Live to score!
EAST MEETS WEST
THE NEXT GENERATION
ISEA'94 looks to the future of electronic media and its young users by
focussing on questions of psychology, learning and ethics.Interactivity or
Interpassivity?
Logic and creativity: The role of the computer in the duality
Beam up to a world without teachers: Is a new psychology needed for
electronic kids?
Edutainment: Do computer games really advance learning?
Virtual Literacy: narrative structures and patterns of reading brought
about by multimedia and computers.
How to?
ISEA ONLINE shall be started by short commentaries on the topics. It shall
be followed by a free discussion and an edited forum for articles. ISEA
ONLINE is based on the World Wide Web hypermedia service which can be
viewed with a program called Mosaic. It is available for Unix, Windows and
Mac at FTP.NCSA.UIUC.EDU. You can use programs like FTP (or Fetch for
Macintosh) to retrieve the files from NCSA.
Problems?
In case Mosaic does not run on your computer you can
- use Lynx, available at for example ftp.nic.funet.fi.
- use even linemode www. Source and binaries for all of them should be
available among other places in ftp.funet.fi directory
/pub/networking/services/www.
- telnet to info.funet.fi and login as info. Then select www and lynx and
run it from there
- One interface that at least should work on any kind of terminal is
linemode www which can be tried with telnet info.cern.ch.
If none of these suits you, you can mail to isea-forum-request@uiah.fi for
information about ISEA. That way you will receive the updates regularly,
and your name and address will be added to the isea-forum discussion list.
A mailserver may also come online later in case there's need for email
access to ISEA archives. If you haven't contacted ISEA'94 before and would
like to be updated, please request for information at
isea-info-request@uiah.fi.
The URL for ISEA ONLINE is http://www.uiah.fi/isea
These above addresses will start working on January 1st 1994
Hope to see you soon in ISEA ONLINE!

INTELLIGENT AMBIENCE
Exhibitions, Concerts, Projects in the city, Media projects, Symposium and
Lectures. This year's theme: "Intelligent Ambience". From the press
release: "Machine intelligence will serve to make the environment more
efficient and more intelligent so that it will be able to respond more
dynamically and interactively to human beings. The realization of the
concepts of computer aided design and virtual reality will thus be fol-
lowed by the realization of computer aided environment and intelligent,
interactive, real surroundings."

SCULPTURE CITY INTERNATIONAL
Menno Rubens
This is an announcement for electronic artists and designers all over the
world.
September/October 1994 the Foundation ATTILA (based in Rotterdam, Holland)
is organising an international electronic workshop. The idea is to send
and to receive 3D-models for SCULPTURE-BUILDINGS. Buildings which are
sculptures, and sculptures actually being buildings. Buildings are
regarded as sculptures to work and to live in. All the received 3D-models
will be assembled together to form a virtual "Global City", sculptured by
an international group of artists and designers (you !). When this project
SCULPTURE CITY INTERNATIONAL is completed in oktober 1994, all par-
ticipants will receive an image of the assembled city.
SCULPTURE CITY INTERNATIONAL will be part of an exhibition in Gallery RAM
in Rotterdam, Holland called SCULPTURE CITY ROTTERDAM. The resulting
Global City will be exhibited at the exhibition during september and
october 1994 (on monitors and in coloured plots, artist's names will be
mentioned).
This is a first message, you can expect the second message with more
detailed information on SCULPTURE CITY INTERNATIONAL soon.
If you are interested in participating as an individual or with your
organisation, or if you have useful (electronic) addresses of people who
might be interested, please contact me or send them this message.
