Hi all,
I'm in complete agreement with many of the issues that have been
raised in this thread. I also wrote the ISEA organizers saying much
the same. And yes, let's organize things otherwise...it's certainly
possible. In other words, "count me in".
best,
Renee

These fees make me seriously reconsider my participation in ISEA 2011.
I wonder if our money is not better spent organizing a
counter-conference that does not discriminate based on ability to pay.
Perhaps we would then be able to have a real "international symposium
on electronic art".
Electronic art has always been the bastard child of corporate
sponsorship -- sometimes disguised through the dodgy mediation of
academic prestige. Yet electronic art is one of the most important set
of lenses/vehicles that we have for the perception of global systems.
