EDITORIAL: BRANCHES
Wim van der Plas
During ISEA '94 in Helsinki, a meeting took place of representatives
from several countries (including Holland, the UK, Austria, Germany, Japan,
and Australia) to discuss the forming of national ISEA branches.
As yet there are no official guidelines for branches, and those that are
already active (Holland, Brasil, Japan) have an informal status. It was
decided that the Dutch branch would become 'official' by formally founding
itself, and thus achieving legal status. The other branches are, for
another year at least, continuing without such status.
During the coming year the ISEA Board will be busy working out guidelines
for branches, aided we hope by the experiences of the Dutch branch. During
ISEA '95 in Montreal, ISEA intends to present guidelines for ISEA branches
specifying the relationship they will have to the Inter-Society.
This much of the anticipated guidelines is already clear:
-The branches will be called ISEA-[country name, or abbreviation thereof].
For example, ISEA NL, ISEA UK, ISEA Japan, etc.
-The branches will not act as separate associations with separate
memberships. Their aim is to encourage more people and institutes to join
ISEA as members. Eventually, a deal can possibly be worked out where the
branch receives a percentage of the membership fees they help bring in.
-The branch must report its activities to the ISEA board beforehand.
ISEA has the right to withhold the use of the name 'ISEA' if the planned
activities are not in accordance with the general aims of ISEA or if the
activities will compete too directly with the annual ISEA symposia.
-ISEA will support the branch when it applies for local/national subsidies
for its own activities.
The Dutch branch is being founded now. It has the legal status of a
foundation (stichting) under Dutch law. The board members are: Martha
Hesper-de Haas (chair), Wim van der Plas (secretary-treasurer) and Bas
Vroege. Bas Vroege, publisher of the bi-lingual Perspektief Magazine (on
photography and new media), has provided ISEA-NL with office space in
Rotterdam. For the time being this office will serve as ISEA international
headquarters as well.
The address is: St. Jobsweg 30, Rotterdam (our mailing address remains the
POB). Phone/fax: 31-10-4778605. Now that ISEA has proper office space, we
would like to invite volunteers and students to help. A lot has to be done,
and a lot can be learned.
P.S. Professor Kwi-Hyun Park of the Kaywon School of Art and Design has just
informed us of his intention to start a Korean ISEA branch.
Welcome ISEA Korea!

DEAF
Wim van der Plas
The first occurrence of the Dutch Electronic Art Festival (DEAF) took place
in Rotterdam recently. It was organized by ISEA, V2, WDS and theater
Lantaren/Venster. It was a very succesful event andattracted an incredible
amount of press attention.
The most impressive part of DEAF was the exhibition by V2, consisting of a
limited number of large interactive installations by Ulrike Gabriel, Simone
Simons/Peter Bosch, Paul Garrin, and Woody Vasulka. Other events organized by
V2 were performances by (among others) Zbigniew Karkowski, a live radio
concert for the Austrian(!) radio, a presentation by Knowbotic Research,
a session on the World Wide Web with (among others) David Blair, a film
night, and a one-day symposium on Generated Nature. Symposium speakers
included Derrick de Kerckhove, Lev Manovich, Martin Pawley, Detlef Linke,
Philippe Queau, and Peter Weibel.
WDS, a local multimedia design studio, organized a small exhibition on
consumers' interactive media and a continuous, interactive, collective
'collage', involving students from three different art schools and a music
conservatory. Visitors were allowed to interact, too. The well thought-out
way WDS handled this event made it one of the few (esthetically) successful
of its kind to date. WDS also organized a symposium on multimedia. The
keynote speaker was (a member of ISEA's Advisory Committee) Thijs
Chanowski, of BSO's Media Lab.
DEAF was ISEA-NL's first large-scale event (ISEA NL organized a lecture by
Collis Davis on interactive film earlier). However, ISEA-NL had to do this
with a very limited budget. In line with the main aim of ISEA, the goal of
the ISEA part of DEAF was to initiate more cooperation (within Holland)
among the institutes (and individuals) that are active in the field. This
was attempted by inviting many institutes and organizations in the area of
electronic art to submit representative work and documentation. The results
of this constituted an exhibition in Lantaren/Venster, curated by Albert and
Tina Verburg of ISEA-NL. Despite the 'no-budget' situation, they succeeded in
putting together a fascinating exhibit, consisting in large part of
installations created by art schools.
'Education' was the theme of an ISEA symposium within DEAF, the best
attended of the three. Rene Swetter of the Dutch Film and Television School
reported on the way this school has begun curricula in the production of
interactive programs, and his philosophy behind same. John Lansdown of the
Middlesex University gave a comprehensive overview of the problems and
potential of computer art and design education. ISEA Board Member Peter
Beyls of St. Lukas College in Brussels, in a very strong lecture, pointed out
all the paradoxes connected with the use of computers in art education. After
these presentations, Martin Spanjaard of the Minerva Art School in Groningen
offered eight provocative statements, providing sufficient ground for
discussion with the floor. Items included: 'should art students have to learn
to program?', and 'what should be the composition of the staff of a computer
art department?'. There was consensus on the answer to the last question:
it can only be a multi-disciplinary team of artists, scientists, and
technologists.
On the night of the 12th of November, ISEA presented concerts and a
performance. Jaap Dercksen and other 'traditional' professional musicians
played 'Sound Movie' a composition for band and 'Image Keyboard'. The Image
Keyboard was developed by Montevideo of Amsterdam and generates (moving)
images with accompanying sounds (e.g., a drop of water falling).
The Sonology Department of the Royal Conservatory of The Hague presented a
four piece concert, including state-of-the-art live performances by Wart
Wamsteker (cyber glove) and Floris Boddendijk (joystick).
Finally, Arthur Elsenaar gave a performance with voice computer (programmed
by Remco Schaa) and computer-controlled facial muscle stimulators. The
computer explained how humans communicate with their facial expressions,
while steering Arthur's.
Another major activity of ISEA within DEAF was the organization of a series
of four seminars on electronic art in October, introducing many newly
interested people to the subject. Among the speakers were Australian
performance artist Stelarc and Alcedo Coenen of Amsterdam University. Best
attended was the seminar on Interactive Art and Media by Dick Rijken (Utrecht
School of Arts) and Ton Damen (WDS).
DEAF was originally the name for a festival to be organized by ISEA-NL alone,
and was to take place at several locations in Holland, including the town of
Zaanstad, near Amsterdam. As the cooperation with V2 and WDS took shape and
the event developed a specifically 'Rotterdam' character, it was decided to
rename the Zaanstad ISEA-activity: 'Under Current' (Onderstroom).

CORRECTIONS
Yoshiyuki Abe
Due to my poor command of English and a misunderstanding, the article by
Takahiko Iimura in October issue was inaccurately translated. Instead of
"opposite side," it should be "the other" or "other side" as he didn't
consider them as an antagonism. In addition, "woman chauvinism" should be
"woman principle" as a positive force. My apologize to Mr.Iimura and the
readers. (Yoshiyuki Abe)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
STAMPS
In Holland, school children sell so-called Children's Stamps once a year on a
very large scale. A surcharge beyond the normal postal tariff is added to
these stamps, benefitting (children-related) charity. This year the children
will design their own stamps in a competition. This has been done a few times
before, but this is the first instance in which they will use computers
(CorelDraw and/or Paintbrush).
This is an interesting experiment, if only for its scale: during the last
four years some 27,000 computers with these paint programs have been
distributed in primary schools. We hope to be able to show you the results in
the new year.

ISEA 94
Minna Tarkka/Kari Happonen
Dear ISEA'94 participant & proposer,
On behalf of the organisers, we would like to thank you once more for your
interest and participation in ISEA'94 Helsinki.
The Symposium was a very successful event, with over 500 participants and
a friendly and intensive ambience. The thematic conference sessions and
the cutting-edge art exhibition updated the electronic art scene, while
the side projects focusing on electro nic popular culture brought the
event to a wider audience. ISEA'94 also introduced new additions to the
tradition of ISEA symposia - the session on the pedagogy of electronic
art, the WWW multicasting of the presentations and the Media Lounge
multimediath eque were projects that received a lot of positive feedback.
And most important of all the Symposium left a warm memory and gave birth
lo numerous contacts and future collaborations.
This final letter contains information on the proceedings and archive of
ISEA'94. Please note that the ISEA'94 Office will close and the address,
tel and fax are valid only until November 1, 1994 and the email address
until the end of the year 1994. This letter will also guide you to further
contact addresses.
Proceedings
The University of Art and Design Helsinki has opened a World Wide Web

CALL FOR PAPERS, WORKSHOP TOPICS, AND EXHIBITION ITEMS.
Third Interdisciplinary Symmetry Congress and Exhibition
August 14 - 20 1995, Old Town Alexandria (near Washington, D.C.), USA.
FIELDS OF INTEREST
SYMMETRY: NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL
The congress and exhibition present a broad interdisciplinary forum where the
representatives of various fields in art, science, and technology may discuss
and enrich their experiences. The concept symmetry, having roots in both art
and science, helps to provide a `common language' forthis purpose. The new
`bridges' between disciplines could inspire further ideas in the original
fields of participants, as well as facilitate the adaptation of existing
ideas and methods from one field to another.
Exhibition: Ars Scientifica
There have been several exhibitions representing the specific impact of
certain fields of science and technology on art, but ISIS-Symmetry has
initiated a regular forum for a broader interface of art and science. The
exhibition will consist of two parts: a professional exhibition and an
informal one, based on the objects illustrating the lectures given by the
participants. Some workshops will be conducted in the exhibition rooms.
SPECIAL INTERESTS of Ars Scientifica are, among others: kaleidoscopes,
polyhedra, model designs, new media.
DEADLINES
-for application and short description of contribution and other proposals:
December 15, 1994;
-for submitting final (camera ready) versions of the extended abstracts:
March 31, 1995.
