• During FISEA a plenary meeting was held to discuss the founding of an umbrella organisation for the Electronic Arts. This had been the aim of the SCCA for organising FISEA from the beginning. The name Inter-Society for the Electronic Arts was coined by Roger Malina and it was later (1990) founded as a membership association by Theo Hesper and Wim van der Plas.

  It was also decided that the symposium should get a follow up and a second, third etc ISEA ought to be organised. The representants of the Utrecht Art School (HKU) announced their intention to organise the Second ISEA. However, they later withdrew and the Groningen Polytechnic organised it instead.
