ISEA BRANCHES
At the instigation of Dirk Boon, a discussion has begun on the way ISEA
can formalize the local branches. ISEA started out as an international
association. But now we are looking to give the organization strong
regional roots: a top-down approach.
The main goal of ISEA is the 'structuring of a systematic approach to
the potentials and problems of electronic art'. For this, it is necessary
to create a world-wide communication network among artists, scientists,
technologists, organizers, publicists, educators, etc.
The world-wide network has already been initiated; the ISEA symposia
were instrumental in this respect. However, the network is still thin.
It is impossible to work on a global basis without support from different
geographical 'nodes'. For example, in a country like Japan, few people
understand English well enough. Yoshi Abe has been a tremendous help to
us by translating all major ISEA and ISEA-symposium documents into
Japanese and distributing them in his country.
That is typically what a local branch can do. Starting a local network,
as part of the larger, global one. Rejane Spitz has been doing that in
South America. Ivan Pope is active in this respect in the UK, Theo Hesper
in Indonesia. Very recently, Acha Debella, computer artist of Ethiopian
origin, declared he will set up a branch that covers a huge region: the
African continent. An Australian branch is in the air. And of course,
there is the Dutch branch.
The branches will have to actively increase membership. If there are
no funds available, ISEA can make an agreement with the branch wherein
the branch can use some of the (local) membership fees to cover costs
(for stamps and the like). A branch can organize local ISEA events, and
it may be easier for local branches to raise money, especially from
government sources, that often do not want to support international
associations (at least, that is the Dutch experience).
A branch requires really one dedicated person. Anyone interested in
starting a branch in his or her country should indicate that to us now.
This is to ensure that you can actively take part in the discussion
that will lead to a formal set of rules and guidelines for conducting
branch business. We still have to cover some parts of the globe. What
about France, Germany, the USA?
ISEA MEETINGS
As has become an annual habit, two ISEA gatherings are planned this
summer. At SIGGRAPH (Orlando, Florida, last week of July) there
will be an ISEA/ISAST meeting, where anyone can announce new initiatives
and plans. At ISEA94 in Helsinki in August, the closing plenary session
will be the usual ISEA Panel. Here, among other things, the plans for
the next couple of ISEA symposia will be presented. Details on both
meetings will appear in the July Newsletter.
DEAF
The Dutch Electronic Art Festival, organized by the Dutch branch
of ISEA, the V2 Organization, WDS Multi Media Design and theater
Lantaren/Venster is taking shape. Fund raising has been rather
satisfactory, so that we are already sure we can realize most of
the plans. The ISEA part of the event will aim at presenting an
actual state of affairs of electronic art in Holland, with the
intention to initiate more cooperation on a national level. The
idea is to have the Dutch art schools play an important role in
DEAF. However, individual artists are welcome to send us
exhibition or concert/performance proposals. Of special interest
to the organizers are works that fit in with the general theme of
DEAF: 'Digital Nature'. Symposium contribution proposals will be
also considered. The theme of the ISEA part of the two day
symposium is: Computers in Art Education.
Tentative deadline for all proposals: September 1. DEAF will take
place from 9-13 November 1994 in Rotterdam. More details will
follow in the next Newsletters.
ISEA ON GREEK TV
'Our man in Greece', Manthos Santorineos of Eikona, recently
produced a TV series on computer art called 'Meta Ti' ('Post-
What?') for national television in his country. In one of the
episodes, which has already been broadcast, the Inter-Society had
a chance to explain what it is doing. ISEA produced a no-budget
video interview with the aid of video artist Fokke van der Veer
and Fred Kolman, both living in Amsterdam. The interview took
place at an interesting location: in 'Kolman's Cube', Fred's
interactive installation.
IMAGINATION
ISEA helped the Royal Dutch Trade Fair to organize an Art Show
during Imagination 94, May 18-20 in Utrecht, Holland. Imagination
94 was the first issue of a trade show on 'digital creativity and
communication'. The fair was well attended and the art show
appreciated highly. Some 70 computer graphics and image processed
works were shown, the majority created by Dutch artists. The
above mentioned 'Kolman's Cube' was included too, as well as
several computer animations. ISEA wants to thank all artists who
contributed work and Albert Verburg, who curated the exhibition
for ISEA.
During the official opening of Imagination, ISEA organized an
intercontinental desktop video conferencing art work, called
'Imagine the Skylines of the World'. Under the direction of Dutch
artists Peter Sweenen and Robin Noorda, artists in Sydney
(Josophia Grieve, Brad Miller, Jason Gee), Tokyo (Sui Morita,
Yoshi Abe) and Boston (Dianne Roman) composed a collage in real
time from images that were grabbed from cameras at rooftops in
several European cities, for a live audience in Utrecht. The
collage was then printed and distributed among the invited
guests. The event was sponsored by Dutch Telecom, and
covered by Dutch national television and an MTV video crew.
CONCHOLOGY
If you don't know what that is: it is the study of sea shells.
The Australian Science-Art Research Centre is organizing the
First International Conchology Conference in January 1995 to take
place in Tweed Valley, in New South Wales. The main objective of
the conference is to study seashells (and other bioforms) using
the most advanced possible mathematics and computer graphics.
The organizers are planning a computer art exhibition as part of
the event (one of the speakers at the conference will be the
famous Japanese computer artist Yoichiro Kawaguchi). In
cooperation with ISEA, the organizers are preparing a Call for
Participation for electronic artists to enter their version of
sea shells and other bio forms. We hope to publish this Call in
the July Newsletter. But perhaps some of you can start
working on it early.

INTERNET IN JAPAN
Yoshiyuki Abe
The internet situation is changing rapidly in Japan. One of the major
academic networks, JUNET, will be disorganized and a new phase of
academic network will start in October. The fact that some email domains
don't accept the mails from outside Japan, for the reason of the cost,
will be solved at the time. Global computer mailing has been restricted
by the high hurdles of the tele-comm regulation in this country and
academic networks are still in the experimental phase.
A recent issue of ACM publication reported the total number of Internet
node in Japan is only a sixth of that in California. Actually, using
Internet mail has not been easy so far, even for the people in academic
sites, and most art colleges couldn't have their own domain names of the
Internet. It'll be changed.
In March, commercial BBS's in Japan (one and a half million users in
total) started to link their email services to the global Internet and
many independent artists are now avialble to communicate with overseas
through electronic routes. Everyone who want to mail through Internet
can do so easily for small cost. For full Internet access, we,
individually, can get it from at least three network providers, but
they are still expensive.

COMPUTER ART IN SLOVAKIA
Martin Sperka
On June 8th was the opening of the exhibition "Computer Graphics in Fine
Arts - Email Art" at the Gallery MEDIUM, Academy of Fine Arts and Design
in Bratislava.
28 artists from Austria, France, Japan, Poland, Slovakia, Switzerland and
USA sent their works. Most of the works were sent via e-mail or on mag-
netic media. Among others there are works of V. Molnar (France), E. Kac,
R. Vorostko, M. Gleeson (USA) and Y. Abe (Japan).
Some artists mailed their works printed on paper. Parallel with this
exhibition there were two one man exhibitions of computer graphics from
Dominique de Bardonneche - Berglund (Switzerland) and Orest Dubay (Slova-
kia). All exhibitions were part of the greatest annual computer show in
Slovakia - COFAX.
One day later at the State Gallery in Banska Bystrica started the ex-
hibition "ACCELERATOR: Video Instalations and Computer Animation - Virtual
Reality" of Roman Galovsky.
Invited speakers are wanted for the symposium "END OF REALITY ?"
This symposium about the consequences of digital technology on photography
at the end of millenium is part of the fourth international festival
"Month of Photography" in Bratislava. The symposium is scheduled on
November 2 and 3. The topic of the symposium will be aestetic and philoso-
phical aspects of "manipulated" photography. We are seeking 2 European
experts (travel and accomodation will be covered by the organizer) on
problems of photography image archiving, transmission, processing and
synthetic photography (hyperrealistic rendering of virtual worlds) - state
of art and future trends from the art photography point of view. The
duration of lectures will be 25 to 30 minutes, paper up to 20 pages would
be accepted. Interested speakers are requested to mail their short biogra-
phy and suggested name of their paper to the address:
FOTOFO - Photographic Foundation,
Radvanska 36, 811 01 Bratislava, Slovakia or e-mail to me.

NEWS FROM AUSTRALIA
Ray Archee
The Powerhouse Museum is probably Australia's premiere technological
museum. It is currently exhibiting "Telecom Laserlink: At home in the
future" a multimedia show examining the infinite capacity of fibre
optic technology. The simulations preview the promise of the National
Information Infrastructure with HD-TV, pay and cable TV, telephone and
interactive video services. The exhibition looks at issues such as
home entertainment and home shopping which have not quite arrived in
Australia. There will be an interactive TV gameshow which will invite
visitors to experience and evaluate this new technology.
From mid-July for 12 mnths "Sound House" will be open for anyone
interested in learning about composition and performance of modern music.
Computers and midi programs will be available for organised sessions, with
booking essential.
Review of the Tenth Annual Computers and Writing Conference, Columbia, MO
20-23 May, 1994
I had the pleasure of presenting a paper entitled "Virtual Reality and
Writing: a speculative analysis" at this unique conference. The conference
attracted some 300 participants, and hosted a simultaneous online session
for all those people who could not make it in person. At the close of
each of the real conference presentations, conferees were asked to write
down their thoughts about the paper. These ideas were then immediately
placed on the online conference for the virtual participants. There were
many themes running through the conference but to my mind the main ones
were MUDs and hypertext. I have never met so many technologically
literate educators. (contact: Eric Crump LCERIC@MIZZOU1.MISSOURI.EDU)

SEMINAR & WORKSHOP ON SYMBOLIC COMPOSER
An Introduction to Algorithmic Composing
June 29, 1994 , Lancaster University, UK
The Computers in Teaching Initiative Centre for Music at Lancaster
University will be presenting an introduction to algorithmic composing
using Symbolic Composer. The course is designed for those teaching
composition and music technology in university music departments,
conservatories and colleges. Symbolic Composer provides a modular music
language consisting of 250 music-oriented commands for generation and
transformation of MIDI music data. The uniqueness of the system lies in
the free combinability of all commands applicable to both MIDI and musical
parameters. This makes the system very powerful reflective medium
for high-level music composition. Beyond standard composition functions
the system covers fractals and chaos opening up possibilities for ex-
perimental music and virtual performance arts.
The workshop & seminar will focus on how Symbolic Composer can support
different scenarios for music composition: Music for MIDI performance and
production (in tandem with MIDI sequencers), Music for Human Performance
(alongside MIDI scorewriters and notation processors) and Electroacoustic
Music (working with digital audio).
