Academic submissions have now closed. 

In addition to traditional academic papers, ISEA2024 will accept submissions where visual images (photographs, renderings, illustrations, sketches, collages etc) are essential in communicating research insights, methodologies and contributions to knowledge. We welcome submissions that critically engage with the use of images in research and scholarship, and that explore the possibilities and challenges of using images to convey complex ideas and arguments. Submissions can be in the form of visual essays, photo essays, or other types of image-based presentations.

All pictorials must follow the pictorial template and not exceed 10 pages, excluding references. Pictorial submissions will be peer-reviewed, and the Academic Committee and Program Chairs will decide on acceptance, considering the review recommendations. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and the ISEA archive. Authors will be required to present their papers at the Symposium, with a duration of 20-40 minutes including Q&A session.

Please ensure that your submitted PDF is anonymised, with no author-related information such as institutional affiliation, bio, author name(s), or explicit self-citations, notes, and bibliography included in the body text.

We invite submissions for Panel discussions, which should include an introduction and abstracts from up to 5 individual panel members. Following the academic template, panel discussions can be 2-4 pages in length.

All panels will undergo double-blind peer review by members of the International Program Committee (IPC) based on quality, relevance, originality, and impact.
The Academic Committee will make the final decision on acceptance, taking into account the recommendations of the IPC. Accepted panel abstracts will be published in the conference proceedings and on the ISEA archive. Each panel will be allotted up to 40 minutes in the program, including a Q&A session.

To ensure impartiality, please anonymize your PDF submission by excluding any author-related information, such as institutional affiliation, bio, author name(s), and explicit self-citations, notes, and bibliography in the body text.

We welcome submissions for artist talks, work in progress, demonstrations, and other non-peer-reviewed contributions. Following the academic template, these submissions can be 2-4 pages in length.

The Academic Committee and Program Chairs will review all submissions and select those to be included in the conference proceedings. These submissions will be allocated up to 20 minutes in the program, including a Q&A session if appropriate.

Unlike peer-reviewed submissions, there is no need to anonymize your submission for non-peer-reviewed contributions.

We invite institutions, organisations, and community groups to participate in ISEA by presenting their work related to the symposium’s themes and mission. Institutional presentations provide an opportunity for networking and a platform to discuss the institutional mission, research, and creative agendas relevant to the institution and broader community.

Following the academic template, these submissions can be 2-4 pages in length.  Submissions will be reviewed by the Academic Committee for relevance to the ISEA mission and the 2024 symposium theme. Presentations will be allotted up to 45 minutes in the program and may include posters, demonstrations, or other materials. If you have specific space requirements for larger-format demonstrations and displays, please specify them in your submission. We will do our best to cater to your needs.

Submissions do not need to be anonymized. Institutional presentations will be selected by the Steering Committee based on their relevance to the ISEA mission and their ability to serve as networking opportunities and forums for museums, NGOs, networks, schools, enterprises, and other participating organisations.

New Media Art Archives are invited to present their work at the Fourth Summit on New Media Art Archiving. Following the academic template, these submissions can be 2-4 pages in length. Submissions will not be double-blind peer reviewed but will be reviewed by the International Program Committee (IPC) for relevance to the summit topics (is the archive relevant for New Media Art/Cultural Heritage?). The archive presentations will be allotted 5 minutes in the program.
Submissions do not need to be anonymised.

Academics and practitioners are encouraged to submit proposals for workshops and tutorials, which provide a platform to explore specific topics and engage with the local community. Workshops can be half-day, full-day, or two-day events, scheduled between June 21–29 June.

Workshop organisers are invited to consider the theme of ISEA 2024; however, proposals on all matters relevant to ISEA community and beyond are welcome. Accepted workshops will be posted on the symposium website, and organisers may create their own call for submissions.

Organisers may also present on their workshop’s work during the symposium and submit a one-page abstract of their proposal for the proceedings. Additionally, there may be opportunities to exhibit workshop outcomes. While all workshops will have a designated space, organisers may request specific equipment or space accommodations.

To propose a workshop, submit a workshop proposal of 2-4 pages using the application form provided and including the following:

• Description of the workshop/tutorial
• Short biography of the organisers
• Abstract
• Plan of how to solicit participation
• List of equipment
• Your preference to possibly exhibit the outcomes of the workshop during the symposium. 

Please use the provided application form and submit it in PDF format, including a URL link to the tutorial website.

Proposals will be evaluated by appropriate chairs based on their quality and relevance to the Symposium, with final acceptance/rejection decisions made by the chairs based on recommendations from the IPC.
