ISEA2010 RUHR Conference
At several venues in the cities of Dortmund, Essen and Duisburg, more than two hundred speakers will present recent developments in contemporary art and digital culture and exchange ideas with local creatives. All conference panels will be held in English only.
All conference contributions have been selected in a peer-reviewing process by an international jury from over thousand proposals. The discussed themes vary from aesthetic discourses to questions of art and engineering. Among others, the conference includes panels on art and media in Latin America, on preservation of historical media art, on the phenomenon of materialisation and dematerialisation, and on the role of the user in digital art.
