18th International Symposium on Electronic Art (ISEA2012)

The ISEA International Foundation Board is pleased to announce that the
18th International Symposium on Electronic Art (ISEA2012) will be held in
Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA.

ISEA2012 has been awarded to the University of New Mexico (UNM) College of
Fine Arts in collaboration with 516 ARTS

The New Mexico bid was presented at ISEA2009 Belfast.
Following a final submission process, the Foundation Board has agreed that
the New Mexico proposal is dynamic and diverse, with a strong regional and
environmental focus.

ISEA2012 will be staged in Fall 2012 in Albuquerque and Santa Fe with
the bulk of the symposium held on and near the University of New Mexico in
Albuquerque.

On hearing news of the successful bid, Prof. Polli commented: "New Mexico is
unique not only as the site of the most ancient settlements in the country,
dating back to 1100 A.D., but as the site of many scientific breakthroughs
and controversies including the first atomic detonation. Our location is
experiencing some of the fastest growth in the country with high-energy
research at Sandia and Los Alamos Laboratories, the first commercial
Spaceport, and an active film and game industry, while also being the home
to 19 Native American Pueblos. We hope that the site will inspire a wide
range of projects including many that extend outside the gallery and
conference center walls."
