ISEA

isea[1]

“ISEA is a non-profit international organization whose membership and
collaborators consists of a wide range of individuals and institutions
involved in the creative, theoretical and technological aspects of
electronic arts.

The series of symposia known as the International Symposium on Electronic
Art was initiated in 1988 in order to support the founding and maintenance
of an international network of organizations and individuals active
in the field of the electronic arts.
This network has taken the shape of an association, founded in 1990
in The Netherlands, called the Inter-Society for the Electronic Arts
(ISEA).

The Board and membership of ISEA have always been international, bringing
together individuals and organizations from around the world. From
the founding of ISEA until 1996, the organization was based in the
Netherlands. From 1996 to 2001, ISEA moved the headquarters to Montréal,
Quebec, Canada. Since 2001 it is once again headquartered in The Netherlands.

The Inter-Society has as part of its mandate the obligation to oversee
the organization of the symposia in each selected city. It assures
the continuity of symposia identity and quality, and works closely
with the Host Organization.The symposia have been held as both a
biennial
and annual event. In 1998, the symposium returned to the biennial
format for ten years. It is now held annually. In 2009 ISEA was changed
from an association to a foundation in order to better serve its
mission. It is currently seeking to establish a headquarters at the
University of Brighton in the U.K.”[2]
