> digital sound technology, and sound art in collaboration with Koneisto, the 
> largest festival of electronic music in Northern Europe. Both Koneisto festival 
> and ISEA2004 pre-event participants board a cruiser ferry, enjoying electronic 
> music performances and clubs. The electrified ferry travels to IseStockholm, 
> Sweden, for the main launch of ISEA2004. From Stockholm the event continues by 
> sea to Tallinn, Estonia, connecting the Nordic with emerging Baltic new media 
> cultural scenes. ISEA2004 culminates back in Helsinki.

> ISEA2004 will break new ground for new media culture, arts, and research. The 
> event travels through new waters as a physical, critical, and creative 
> experience. We invite you to propose, to participate, to become part of a new 
> floating point in the process of creative new media culture.

> We are currently inviting proposals for projects and papers for the

> might include but not be limited to: workshops; installations, performances or 
> events in public spaces; works for exhibition in a gallery; live performance; 
> interfaced screenings; games or shared environments; projects which encourage 
> remote participation - etc.
> 
> Our over all aim for ISEA2004 is to create an event which is thematically and 
> critically coherent and provides new insight, so we really encourage you to 
> submit proposals which engage in very direct ways with the themes for the 
> event. We are also interested in work and ideas which explore the cultural and 
> social aspects rather than technological determinants of new media art and 
> cultural production.
> 
> Please note that ISEA2004 is a forum for artistic, academic, and culturally or 
> socially relevant work that has not previously been presented in international 
> forums (you may have showed/presented it in your local context).
> 
> All submissions are done via our website using a web form and stored into a 
> database. This procedure allows us to have the proposals reviewed by 
> International Programme Committee (IPC) members. When you make a submission, it 
> is recommended to that you choose a theme/city/genre.
> 
> All queries are to be made via the main office until your project has  been 
> selected into the programme. Once accepted into the programme, you are given a 
> local contact e-mail.
> 
> All samples of your work must be submitted in a digital format, including sound 
> and video. We accept existing web sites as support material, but if they are 
> not operational at the time of review, the proposal is rejected. Unless we 
> specifically request posted support material, they will not be accepted nor 
> returned. We hope you understand our policy, which in the end guarantees that 
> all work and support material are reviewed by the geographically diverse 
> programme committee. We will also not handle submissions via e-mail: only 
> proposals submitted through the web interface http://www.isea2004.net
> are valid.
