ISEA WEBCAST LAUNCH

Welcome to http://www.isea.qc.ca/webcast98

For the second consecutive year the ISEA HQ will provide a full
multimedia coverage of the isea98 Symposium held in Liverpool and
Manchester (UK) September 2-7. Working in collaboration with the isea98
organization, various international networks such as RHIZOME and
Telepolis as well as several Montreal media art centers, the webcast
will cover the highlights of ISEA98 through the production of a daily
electronic magazine to be transmitted on the ISEA web site.

The daily electronic magazines will feature three thematic e-zines:

+ Hearing the Noise: Revolution and Terror, isea98<br>
+ Extended Bodies: Collaborative efforts in Cyberspace<Br>
+ Network-Framework: Going for sensory overload

On-liners can also intervene and comment on the three webcast thematics
in the webcast discussion forum. Each forum will have an eyewitness and
active chair to shape the discussion although themes are destined to
break out into many smaller cells and new directions.
