ISEA International is an international non-profit organisation which encourages "interdisciplinary academic discourse" and exposure for "culturally diverse organisations and individuals working with art, science and technology."[1]
ISEA International is best known for coordinating the annual International Symposium on Electronic Art (ISEA), a gathering of the international art, science and technology community.[1] The symposium includes both an academic conference, including workshops, and artistic events, like art exhibitions, concerts & performances and events in public space. It is a nomadic event and is held in a different location every year. ISEA allows individuals and organisations from around the world to come together annually, share and experience the intersection of emerging technologies and art.[2] ISEA includes both visual and performing art that intersect with various types of technology in its symposia. ISEA is managed by the ISEA International foundation board, who coordinate the continued occurrence of the symposium and oversees the quality of its content.[3]
In an important move for ISEA, an agreement with University of Brighton to establish an ISEA Headquarters was signed in July 2009. ISEA HQ provides an administrative, academic and creative base for ISEA and develops a fruitful partnership with a leading research University. In 2022, a new agreement was signed with the University for the Creative Arts, which is where the new headquarters is now based.
