Location

The United Arab Emirates is a location with exquisite contradictions. Its location not only provides a place with world-renowned architecture, but also boasts its development along the waters, its original trading ground.

The overarching theme of ISEA2014—Location— weaves local UAE tradition and history into the global context of new media science, art, and technology. It will explore strands such as: Technology, Science, and Art: East Meets West; Emerging Economies/Emerging Identities; Nomadic Shifts & Digital Archaeology; and Collaborative Spaces. Themes were specifically chosen with both local importance and international relevance, and we are confident that the symposium will be an event not to be missed here in Dubai.

For presenters and attendees of ISEA2014, it will be an experience like no other.

ISEA2014 offers a platform for its neighbors in the Middle East and South Asia (MENASA region) to come and share not only their research, but to have access to the wide range of ideas that ISEA2014 brings with its symposium.

ISEA2014 participants from beyond the MENASA region will have the opportunity to engage with an audience outside of their usual practice within a framework of conceptual relevance both in and outside of the Middle East.

Join us for complex conversations around the theme Location. Lectures, workshops, panel discussions, exhibitions, keynote presentations, and more will create a vibration in Dubai sure to be felt around the globe.
