ISEA98: THE LIVERPOOL REVOLUTION SYMPOSIUM
The ninth International Symposium on Electronic Art opens in Liverpool
on September 2nd.
Hosted for the first time in the UK, the annual ISEA symposium is
acclaimed for its ability to bring together the international cutting
edge of opinion and opinion-makers concerned with the cultural use of
Information Technology. Liverpool Art School and the Liverpool Institute
for Performing Arts host the Revolution Symposium. Together they are
forum and laboratory in which to identify, assert and critique the
notions and metaphors of Revolution–a word that describes both cyclic
repetition and violent severence. Liverpool has assembled an outstanding
global group of artists, academics, inventors and commentators ranging
from 1960s electronic pioneers through to young, unsung iconoclasts
impatient of everything. Together they will challenge and engage with a
programme of presentations integrating papers, dialogues / debates,
artist and technologists' workshops, exchanges and performances.
