DIGITAL BOUNDARIES: Multiculturalism, Identity, and Awareness
ACM Multimedia, the premier multimedia conference, in conjunction with Macy Gallery of the Art and Art Education Program at Teachers College, Columbia University is pleased to announce "Digital Boundaries: Multiculturalism, Identity, and Awareness," a group exhibition of interactive multimedia art featuring the work of 16 international artists and their collaborators. The exhibition opens on Wednesday, September 29 and closes on Friday, October 15 with a reception for the artists on Tuesday, October 12 from 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
At no time in history has technology had the prospect of making a stronger cross-border impact on culture. Technology can be used to create or reinforce boundaries (being fingerprinted and photographed at an airport-a multimedia experience), as well as to dissolve them (we are bombarded by images and sounds from all over the world). Many of us are being empowered with the ability to easily create digital content, document and share our own experiences and those of others, challenging the roles of art (passive vs. interactive) and revolutionizing the way we see and hear the world. At the same time, only a small percentage of people have access to technology (boundaries of the haves and the have-nots).
Multimedia content and technology are of special consideration because they appeal directly to our senses, elevating the age-old dilemma of the distinction between reality and representations of reality. Does this new proliferation and imbalance of multimedia technology help reinforce boundaries and cultural differences? Does it contribute to define cultural identity in a new age in which everyone talks about multiculturalism? Does it raise cultural awareness or simply numb our senses making us take deep cultural differences for granted because what we "see" or "hear" is commonplace in this "new" multicultural world? Does it create new boundaries in art or help unify multiple art forms? How can art, in its many roles, make use of the same technology that raises these issues to address them?
The following artists are featured in the exhibition: Carroll Parrott Blue, Marc Bohlen, Sheldon Brown, Bob Gluck, Michael Hohl, Brian Ireson, Cynthia Lawson Jaramillo, Shawn Lawson, J.T. Rinker, Cynthia Rubin, Andrew Senior, Patrick Tarrant, Roxanne Wolanczyk, Stephen Wilson, Winston Yang, and Ricardo Miranda Zuniga.
The works selected span a wide range of artistic practices, techniques, and methods to address different issues related to the exhibition theme. Blue intermixes traditional print and electronic interactive multimedia in an autobiographical reflection of racism's impact on one African American mother and daughter's relationship and invites the viewer to co-create its narrative and dialogue about its issues. Bohlen and Rinker use the whistle as a form of trans-cultural communication. Brown seeks a digital representation of urbanization in an area in which two cultures are in constant flux. Hohl detects participants' presence on a world map and plays radio stations from different parts of the world. Ireson uses motion sensors to augment the volume of competing videos, exploring the apparent notion of the inherent conflict between Christian West and the Muslim East. C. Lawson Jaramillo uses the web to present participants with a "mixed reality" and explore issues deeply rooted in contemporary Colombian identity. S. Lawson's computer vision interface questions our conceptions about interactive art: the participant's non-motion shows the video details of a traditional Japanese scroll painting. Rubin and Gluck's work is based on a Medieval Hebrew biblical manuscript that reflects on the convergence of cultures in Islamic Spain. Senior's work explores the cultural barriers enforced by pronunciation differences of culturally charged words. Tarrant uses a personal multimedia collection to explore issues of memory and narrative. Wolanczyk's work questions vertical cultural barriers as represented by an imaginary character that makes a living creating junk mail. Wilson's work investigates the image search process and keywords associated with images in relation to culture. Yang finds a spatial digital representation for images that is based on research into architectural grids and culture. Zuniga places multimedia content in a physical space (a video game in a food vendor cart) to raise questions about culture as!

ISEA2004 IN A NUTSHELL
For one week in mid August 2004 Baltic Sea becomes the center of electronic music, new media research, art and design. ISEA2004 is the 12th Symposium on Electronic Arts, organised for the first time in two capital cities and a ferry between them. ISEA2004 is built from three event elements:
SEA [15-16/08/04]:
ISEA2004 CRUISE connects Baltic cities (Helsinki, Stockholm, Mariehamn, Tallinn) with a substantial programme that mixes an excellent line up of electronic music with sound art, networking sessions, performances and interactive installations. 1400 participants enjoying the programme turn Silja Opera ferry into an amazing hub for new media creative practices and industries. ISEA2004 CRUISE is a great party where you can talk, dance, drink, eat, sunbathe and relax with the most innovative group of peole that have ever set on sail.
TAL [17-18/08/04]:
ISEA2004 TALLINN, Estonia, launches the full scale symposium programme with Wearable experience conference, exhibitions, a club night, performances and more in major venues in the city.
HEL [19-22/08/04]:
ISEA2004 HELSINKI completes the ISEA2004 JOURNEY with the themes Wireless Experience, Histories of the New, Open Source and Software as Culture explored in the conference at media centre LUME and at the exhibition at The Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma.
Koneisto [13-14/08/04]
Festival for electronic music and arts just before ISEA2004 offers a rich variety of electronic music. At Koneisto, ISEA2004 highlights from MUTEK festival mark an inspiring start for the whole week of programme.
ISEA2004 is a unique opportunity to experience new technologies and their cultural practices. The "new" is always afloat, yet we feel that there is a strong need also to keep one's feet grounded. ISEA2004 higlights the latest work in wireless, networked and wearable in the cultural domain of new media. We emphasize experience over technology, history and analytical vision over hype.
In Tallinn and in Helsinki, ISEA2004 focuses, besides the conferences, on several public interfaces: the exibition, concerts, and work in the city space. We expect 1600 hundred professionals and nearly 200 000 visitors to attend different parts of the event. In order for research and innovation in new technologies to matter, it needs to be something that people can experience and find meaningful in their every day lives. This is what ISEA2004 is about: the culture of new technologies.
ISEA2004 will break new ground for new media culture, arts, and research as it travels through fresh waters as a physical, critical, and creative event. Join the ISEA2004 experience!

"'I will be on the ferry" - Lev Manovich re. ISEA2004
'I will be on the ferry because when I attended the ISEA94 in Helsinki, as a
part of the conference we also had a 3 day ferry trip to St. Petersburg.
It was the best conference experience I had in my life!'
-Lev Manovich, Associate Professor, Visual Arts Department, UCLA
ISEA2004 CONFERENCE OUTLINES ANNOUNCED
ISEA2004 conferences in Helsinki and Tallinn, and on a luxurious cruiser
ferry connecting them, are key elements of the 12th International Symposium
on Electronic Arts (August 14th-22nd). ISEA2004 starts with the electrified
Interfacing Sound cruise from Helsinki to Stockholm, after which the
Networked Experience cruise from Stockholm to Tallinn via Mariehamn inspires
a range of panels, poster sessions and workshops. Networking sessions will
also, for example, be hosted by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and
the Asia Europe Foundation..
After two dazzling nights on the ferry, ISEA2004 participants convene in
Tallinn to cover the themes of Wearable Experience, Geopolitics of Media and
Critical Interdisciplines: research/science, art and collaboration.
Wearable technologies are explored through project presentations of
state-of-the art ubiquitous computing in fashion and cultural practices.
Issues of technology and embodiment provide a critical context to this
discussion. Geopolitics of media looks at the ways in which new media
practices reflect diverse media geographies and their relation to real life
locations, globalization and activism. Part of the agenda of ISEA2004 is to
assess where new media culture and arts are at the moment. To this end the
Critical Interdisciplines theme digs deep into the questions of
relationships of computer engineering, design, media studies, anthropology
and new theories emanating from natural sciences in relation to networked
and other new media practices. Tallinn keynote speakers include Arturo
Escobar (Colombia/USA) and Sarah Kember (UK).
After Tallinn sessions, ISEA2004 culminates in Helsinki, exactly ten years
after ISEA94, when the net was still an emergent field. This time Wireless
Experience, Histories of the New, Open Source and Software as Culture and
Critical Interaction Design will be explored.
Wireless experience maps current emerging cultural and social practices of
mobile and other wireless media such as radio and WiFi networks. A key theme
is how wireless experience is enabling new ways to approach urban cultures
and turn public spaces into "writable and participatory media".
Histories of the new is a key theme to unravel not only the recent ten years
of change within the Networked experience, but to look at diverse local
histories of creative "new" media use since the 1960s. The theme also
explores the very logic of how new technologies become integrated into the
social and the cultural "sediments" of everyday life experience.
Critical interaction design seeks to foreground critical discourse and work
around sensitive, contextual, critical work on interactivity. It is also a
platform for dialogue bringing together interface designers, computer
scientists, media and cultural theorists as well as media artists (who are
often hybrids of these). Open source software as culture addresses politics,
economical or legal logic, and various cultural and social politics
regarding open source, and software at large. The theme positions software
as a cultural and a political object and as a subject for debate.
Helsinki keynotes include Erkki Huhtamo (Finland/USA), Wendy Hui Kyong Chun
(USA), Shuddhabrata Sengupta (India) and Matthew Fuller (UK).
