ISEA2002 Call for Papers & Participation: http//www.isea.jp/ e-mail : info@isea.jp THEME [Orai] is a Japanese word that has many interpretations. It refers to comings and goings, communication, and contact, as well as streets and traffic. About 200 years ago, a book titled Nagoya Orai was compiled and published in Nagoya which was used as a kind of textbook for teaching, writing, and development of literacy. Through discussions around art and its inter-disciplinary studies, ISEA2002 NAGOYA [Orai] hopes to provide an opportunity to create a new text and explore new forms of literacy in the electronically networked society.
