ISEA2000 - REVELATION

ISEA2000, International Symposium on Electronic Art, is the most important
event dedicated to art and new media ever organized in France (6 to 11
december 2000). In Fall 2000, over 100 artistic works from thirty different
countries will be exhibited throughout the city of Paris via simultaneous
events in different locations : Forum des Images, IRCAM, Ecole Nationale
Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, Musée Carnavalet, Univeristé Paris 8, �cole
Nationale de Création Industrielle, Cinéma MK2...

ISEA2000 Revelation will showcase ten years of ISEA presence. This
international electronic art event is organized annually and is hosted by a
different country (United States, Canada, UK, Australia, The Netherlands,
etc) each time. ISEA2000 will be the first ISEA event to take place in
France.

Under the theme of Revelation, ISEA2000 will explore the effects of the
technological revolution on art and society through new ways of
representation. Digital images, virtual, multimedia, interactive
installations, networks... new information and communication technologies
turn practices of conception and exhibition upside down. They are
instruments through which new forms of interactive writing occur and they
reveal an emerging culture on a planetary scale.

ISEA2000 Revelation will put in perspective the transformations and the
stakes of different creative disciplines : applied arts, performance,
music, image, architecture, design, and fashion. It will focus on
understanding the ways through which new tools generate forms of expression
inherent to the digital civilization.

With thirty participating countries, ISEA2000 Revelation is a pioneering
interdisciplinary and multicultural event, moving towards creation in the
third millenium. In particular, it will examine initiatives carried out in
Latin America,Asia, Africa, like the Virtual Africa project.

ISEA2000 REVELATION achieves its diversity objectives and maintains its
audience-oriented dynamic through an
association with other events organized by art centers, research centers,
associations or collectivities in France. These programs include the "Image
Culture and Interactive Media Project" initiated by Le Fresnoy ;
Universities and Art Schools educational works relating specifically to the
ISEA2000 themes ; public awareness initiatives by players in the fields of
Culture and Multimedia and by Cybercafes on the cultural uses of new media.
The latter will also foster meetings and debates around the increasing
democratic value of new tools and uses for information and communication
(debates, philosophical coffee, projects presentations, etc)

ISEA2000 Revelation will maintain an interactive TV channel on the web
during the year 2000, in order to broadcast events, programing, meetings
and exhibitions organised as part of ISEA. This cyberculture channel will
be a meeting point for the Internet community to seek information and
participate in ongoing discussions.

In December 2000, ISEA2000 Revelation will come culminate in a large scale
international symposium to be held at the Image Forum in Paris. This one
week symposium will gather more than 1000 key players from some thirty
countries in the domaines of art, education, research, and industry.
Conferences, round-tables and presentations of works will illustrate the
current state of art and culture in the realm of electronic media.

ISEA2000 REVELATION is organized by ART3000, with tthe support and
collaboration of the Ministère de la Culture, the Mission pour les
célébrations de l'An 2000, the Mission Paris 2000 and the city of Paris, as
well as the collaboration of many public and private partners.
