SISEA Art Event Overview
SISEA: [Overview] [Venues] [Presentations] [Workshops] [Art Events] [Gallery]
During the SISEA symposium, on the 14th, 15th and 16th of November an Electronic Art Exhibition was on display in the hall at the symposium location (The Oosterpoort). A jury consisting of members of the programme committee and faculty members of both SCAN and the Department of Visual Arts, Music and Architecture of Groningen Polytechnic, have selected the best artworks from over 300 entries. The entries were sent to SISEA by individual artists as well as a large number of institutes from all over the world.
Proposals were welcomed for videotapes, slides, prints and (interactive) installations. The final exhibition contains three video stand-alone units, a slideshow, computer graphics reproduced in prints, mixed-media works and a number of installations, some interactive (i.e. responsive to the viewer).
Part of the exhibition has been provided by Siemens Germany and Ars Electronica. It shows the recent prize winning material of the annual Ars Electronica festival in Austria. Furthermore there is a contribution from the Institut National de l’ Ausiovisuel (INA), France in cooperation with the Centre Culturel Français in Groningen. Also included in the exhibition is work from a touring computer art exhibition provided by La Cite des Arts et des Nouvelles Technologies from Montreal Canada. Special support from the Canadian government made it possible to present three installations from the artists Nancy Paterson, Doug Back and David Rokeby.
The Free Screening Room was located downstairs, accessible from within the exhibition space. The Free Screening Room provided an overview of the entries for the SISEA exhibition that were documented by slides or tapes. Slides were on display continously, and tapes could be played on request.
A special slide set was compiled as a documentation of part of the SISEA exhibition.
The exhibition has not been limited to certain pre-established categories (computer graphics, animation, etc .. ), but presents an interesting view of the many ways in which electronic technology is used for artistic purposes. It reflects the diverse nature of the electronic art landscape that is studied at the SISEA symposium.
