[IP5] Western Front Performance Center, ZHDK Swizerland, Aalborg University, University of Concepcion, University of British Columbia Okanagan

ISEA is a unique occasion for institutional art, design and art + technology communities to present, demonstrate and gather to compare visions, strategies, program developments, curriculum, student-works, inter-institutional collaborations. Institutional Presentation sessions are dedicated to the presentation of organizations, artist-run centres, departments, programs, gallery, museum, company, or creative/pedagogical initiatives. Rather then focusing on the research content, artwork or artifact, they focus on the organizational, financial, curatorial, community enabled, and community enabling initiatives.
