ISEA2008 is seeking both peer-reviewed individual papers and panel 
presentations. This year we are also encouraging artists who wish to 
share their works with a broader audience of their peers to submit 
artist presentations where they can speak about the specific 
aesthetic, conceptual and technological aspects of their works.

We welcome contributions from creative practitioners and researchers 
from a variety of disciplines and institutional contexts as media 
arts benefits from and exemplifies the interdisciplinary linkages 
between contemporary art, science, technology and their related 
philosophies, pedagogies and institutional practices. The submissions 
must address or be of relevance to at least one of the themes of 
ISEA2008 in order to be considered for inclusion in the conference. 
The conference will be of interest to those working in but not 
limited to the following areas: media art, contemporary art, design, 
art history and theory, film and media studies, gaming, toy design, 
human-computer interaction, cultural studies, literary studies, 
musicology, sound studies, theatre, dance and performance studies, 
science, technology and society studies, history of science and 
history of technology, philosophy, history, gender studies, political 
science, anthropology, sociology and geography.
