© ISEA2024 EVERYWHEN
Online creative work submissions have now closed.
ISEA2024 will feature a virtual exhibition within a network of Mozilla Hubs spaces. This exhibition is part of our remote hybrid strategy and will be accessible globally during the entire month following ISEA2024. In addition, artists unable to attend ISEA in person will deliver talks, panels, and papers in this room network. If you do not wish your Hubs room to be used as a virtual location for talks, panels, and papers, please state this in your submission in the ‘ proposal’ section.
We encourage submissions that relate to the symposium theme, exploring conceptions of place, time and story. We also welcome artworks relevant to the broader scope of ISEA. We particularly encourage submissions from First Nations artists and emerging artists at the start of their careers.
How will it work?
Each individual artist-created Mozilla Hubs room will be linked to a web VR network through a Spoke link. Spoke ( the authoring platform for Mozilla Hubs) has the capacity to incorporate a variety of assets to create immersive experiences in a virtual environment, including video, 3D assets with animation, images, text, avatars, and spatial audio. You can find more information on Mozilla Hubs and how to author in Spoke here: https://hubs.mozilla.com/
Licensing: For submission, simply author using the free Starter license, as we will work with selected artists to upgrade their Spoke using our Professional license.

Peer-review
All online creative work submissions will be reviewed by at least two anonymous independent reviewers from the Art Jury, who will rank submissions based on quality, relevance, and originality.
Creative works will be included in the symposium proceedings, and catalogue.
The symposium chairs will make the final decision of acceptance or rejection based on the reviewers’ recommendations, the project’s overall feasibility, and the fit with the symposium’s exhibition program.
Any rejected submissions may be considered for artist talks or presentations in other streams.
Review criteria
- Relevance: Does the work engage with the theme for ISEA2024, or with ISEA more broadly?
- Quality: Does the work demonstrate high standards of formal and conceptual quality, encompassing technical, conceptual, and formal aspects?
- Innovation: Does the work demonstrate creative use of technology and offer new and original ways of perceiving, representing, or envisioning the world?
- Feasibility: Is the work technically and logistically feasible for presentation online
