ISEA95
Wim van der Plas
When you receive this copy of the Newsletter, you will either be in
Montreal or missing ISEA95 (people with e-mail), or you were there and have
missed it already (hard copy readers).
Anyway, this is written just before the Sixth International Symposium on
Electronic Art takes of. The expectations have never been so high. Through
the years, the ISEA Symposia have gained an exellent reputation, and from
what we hear and see, practically the whole electronic art community is aware
of the event.
Presenters usually do not have high budgets and the artists and scientists
who attend have to make sacrifices. There are no money prizes to be won, but
at least, the electronic art community has the feeling this is their own
event which is why discussion is so important. It is not, in the first place,
a Festival (although the festival part of ISEA keeps growing), it is a
Symposium. The aim is, to quote the Guidelines: "A structured approach
towards the problems and potentials of electronic art".
Canada is positively known for it's cultural policies, and the temporary
cooperation of artists and scientists from several universities that have
gathered their forces in order to organize ISEA95 has resulted in an
incredible job.
No doubt ISEA95 will be the largest of all ISEA symposia so far, it will
most likely also be the best. Of course, we will report on it in the next
Newsletter.
ISEA96
The Call for Papers and Participation for ISEA96 (organized by HR&O
Rotterdam Regional College, September 16-20, Rotterdam, The Netherlands) has
now appeared in print. It will be distributed at ISEA95 and large scale
mailings are planned for immediately after ISEA95. Proposals are called for
Papers, Panels, Round Tables, Poster Sessions, Institutional Presentations,
Workshops, Tutorials, Concerts, Performances, Exhibition Work, Web Sites and
Web Projects, Electronic Theater, Open Air and other Public Events. The first
deadline is January 1st, 1996.
The Call can be found at the ISEA Web site and at a new Website, see below.

SIGGRAPH96 ART SHOW POLICIES
Jean Ippolito
There seems to be some misunderstanding about the SIGGRAPH96 Art Show
policies, so I would like to try to clarify them here.
SIGGRAPH only allows so much money for the art show budget, and they will not
commit to a budget until the previous year's SIGGRAPH conference has ended.
Since the Call for Participation is printed before the end of the previous
conference (LA 95), I cannot completely commit to funding much of anything in
The Call, and this is why the policy is so fuzzy.
In the past, SIGGRAPH has allowed $9 thousand for framing, and only $4 to $5
thousand for shipping. This is why SIGGRAPH has only paid for shipping one
way. This has been a good policy for 2-D art, but a bad one for heavy,
expensive to ship even one way, 3-D art.
In 1993, Simon Penny (Machine Culture) wanted a more 3-D interactive show, so
he proposed to use the framing money for shipping heavier 3-D and interactive
works both ways instead of just one. Simon Penny also tried to provide
travel for artists who had to come to SIGGRAPH to set up or monitor their
work during the week of the conference. The artists seemed fairly satisfied
with this policy. Except for one thing; Simon Penny eliminated 2-D work
from the show. Artists reacted to this policy. They did not like such
limitations placed on their work.
This year, we are trying to make the art show more cohesive and interesting
by working with a theme, and encouraging more installation-type submissions.
One problem, in the past, is that the art show receives thousands of 2-D
entries, and very few 3-D or interactive installation type proposals.
Because of this, the art show usually ends up with a great deal of 2-D work,
and very little 3-D or interactive pieces.
This year, I am trying to balance the scales. I do not want to eliminate the
2-D category. I think there is a great deal of good 2-D work out there (I am
a 2-D artist myself). But, I would like to see more installation-type work.
Therefore, I chose to use the money that is usually reserved for framing, to
provide shipping both ways for 3-D and interactive pieces, or for really
interesting 2-D pieces. In addition, my commitment is to apply for outside
funding to pay for travel and lodging for artists that need to be onsite
during the conference.
In order to apply for outside funding, it is necessary to have most of the
entries selected by November. We must know the primary content of the show
in order to approach outside funding sources.
If you read The Call carefully, you will find that it says that we intend to
provide shipping - both ways - and perhaps even travel, to artists who submit
proposals by the early deadline date: October 4, 1995. Only the artists who
are not selected from the early proposals, or do not submit until the
February deadline date, will be expected to ship their own work both ways.
Even if we do not get outside funding, I intend to use SIGGRAPH funds to
provide shipping both ways for artists selected from the early deadline
proposals.
The 1996 SIGGRAPH Art Show committee will be selecting works from the early
proposal submissions that work with the theme of The Bridge: works which
attempt to bridge gaps between the two sites, the conference center and the
Contemporary Art Center, between SIGGRAPH and the local communities, between
the international and domestic arenas, or between social or cultural issues.
We will NOT provide funds for development. The proposal should be for
completed works, including equipment. It is getting more and more difficult
for SIGGRAPH to get computer equipment donations for the conference. It some
cases, however, we may be able to provide video equipment at the exhibition
sites.
The Contemporary Art Center in New Orleans is a really exciting exhibition
space. I hope that we will receive proposals that utilize the unique spaces
at the CAC and the T-Line connection between the Convention Center and the
CAC.
The are detailed explanations about the theme for The Bridge and ground plans
for the CAC in the Call for Participation. Please read it thoroughly.

NEXT 5 Minutes: TACTICAL MEDIA
January 18 - 21 1996, Amsterdam & Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Conference and Exhibition
Next 5 Minutes is a conference and exhibition project about tactical media,
due to take place on January 18th - 21st, 1996, which is being organised by
De Balie, Paradiso, V2_Organisatie, the Society for Old and New Media and the
Centre for Tactical Media in collaboration with other national and
international organisations.
Next 5 Minutes: Tactical Television (1993)
Next 5 Minutes: Tactical Media is a sequel to the first Next 5 Minutes
which took place at the beginning of 1993. Under the heading of 'tactical
television' it brought together television makers from different parts of
the world. The festival presented media initiatives and productions that
were not simply providers of often vital information, but that were also a
means through which people could make their unmediated voices heard.
Next 5 Minutes: Tactical Media
Next 5 Minutes: Tactical Media will continue to develop many of the themes
and relationships that emerged in the first conference, broadening the
scope towards the more inclusive notion of 'tactical media' which also
implies more recent developments, esp. the rapid growth of electronic
networks, and which concentrates on the crossing of boundaries between old
and new media. Tactical media producers from mainstream companies,
activists from social movements, theoreticians, media artists and computer
activists will meet, show their productions and work together during the
conference. In a series of public presentations, discussions, workshops and
exhibitions we will examine critical areas, dilemmas and fault lines in
contemporary media.
Topics
The conference is subdivided into four distinct but closely related topics:
tactical research; public domain and access; metaphorical languages; net
criticism.
1. The means and ends of tactical research are the theme of a series of
presentations from television, radio, phone and computer networks, which
question the information monopoly as practised by mainstream broadcasting
organisations and individual or corporate experts.
2. As 'democratisation' is one of the central claims associated with the
tactical media, we will have to assess critically to what extent it can
actually be achieved. In this context we also want to discuss the effects
that tactical media have on the reconfiguration and revitalisation of our
notions of community, as well as the technical, political and ethical
aspects of public access and large-scale local connectivity.
In addition we propose to use the conference to scrutinise several legal,
political, economic and ethical issues about the state policy concerning
public and commercial broadcasting.
3. For us the question of metaphor is not abstract. It includes and goes
beyond issues of representation and asks the strategic question, what
language shall we use. We have therefore made the third theme of the
conference the use of metaphorical languages. Current metaphors, like the
socio-spatial metaphors of digital cities and electronic superhighways, or
the biological metaphors of the media ecology of cyborgs and memes, will be
evaluated.
4. Finally the conference will strive to introduce the concept of Net
criticism. We imagine this as a form of reflexive critical consciousness
about the contents and practice of the communications culture as it has
been affected by the emergence of the Net. It will be an investigation of
language and metaphor in the electronic age, and it should strive to
formulate aesthetic and ethical categories for net and media discourse. The
continuous involvement of visual artists with the interrogation of
metaphors places their work at the heart of the development of a political
poetics for the media age.
Programme Elements
Next 5 Minutes will have the benefit of three very different kinds of
buildings for large-scale public debates, screenings of movies,
installations, as well as for more intimate workshops about specialised
subjects. While De Balie en Paradiso in Amsterdam will function as central
discussion and workshop locations, V2_Organisatie in Rotterdam will open
the festival with a central presentation. During the conference, V2 will
organise a series of events and an exhibition of contemporary art projects
which explore the social, political and aesthetic potential of the tactical
media in new and challenging ways.
There will be continuous (live where possible) radio and TV programmes
which will be linked to national television stations. Participants will
have access to the Next 5 Minutes library and archive, as well as to local
and translocal computer networks. Information about N5M2 will be
distributed twice daily in an on-site and on-line journal made by our own
team of journalists. The combined journal and network shall play a vital
role in maximising connectivity between the locations in the two cities.
Call for Participation
Next 5 Minutes will open a Web-site and electronic newsgroup (URL:
http://www.dds.nl/n5m) to inform about the conference, collect information
about tactical media-projects and discuss topics with possible
participants. Everyone is kindly invited to participate in the process of
gathering information about new projects and developments in the tactical
media.

PORTRAITS IN CYBERSPACE
A Juried Art Exhibition. Opening online 10-10-95
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION * preliminary announcement *
The world is rapidly becoming wired. Every day, thousands more people flock
to the new digital commons. Who are they? What brought them here? How has it
affected them?
On 10/10 the MIT Media Laboratory will host "A Day in the Life of Cyberspace"
-- a global, online, participatory event. A highlight of the event will be a
juried art exhibition, "Portraits in Cyberspace". This exhibit will feature
images and writings that depict the inhabitants of the global networked
world.
We are seeking images that address: Who is online? Who inhabits the edges
and margins of the online world? What constitues identity in cyberspace --
and how can it be portrayed? How are essential human experiences -- such as
family, religion, community, sex, ethnicity, childhood, personality -- being
transformed in the digital era? We are interested both in documentary
portraits of people in the virtual world and in experimental depictions of
online society.
Prizes for the top entries will be provided by Kodak. Submissions judged by
an international jury to be of excellent quality will be included in the
"Portraits in Cyberspace" exhibition. This exhibit will open on 10/10 and is
expected to be seen by millions of viewers worldwide. Results may also appear
in a subsequent book or in a permanent exhibit.
Submissions will be accepted from Sept 17-Sept 24.
