Performance, Exhibition, Artworks, Screening
We invite submissions of artworks that respond or relate to the themes of the ISEA2026 Symposium.
Submissions may include artworks across a wide range of media: electronic new media, performance,
interactive works, concerts, screenings, installations, site-specific and interdisciplinary projects,
animation, video, experimental media, photography, and public space interventions.
While main gallery exhibitions will be staged at primary ISEA2026 venues, there will be opportunities
for alternative forms of presentation. Accordingly, we welcome submissions from artists at all stages of
their careers.
Submission Requirements (2–4 pages)
- Artist biography (maximum 300 words)
- Thematic statement (200–500 words)
- Artwork proposal (300–800 words)
- Images, sketches, and/or drafts
- Technical and logistical requirements

Deadline: 20 December 2025, by 11:59 PM (GMT+4)
Review and Criteria
Artistic proposals will be reviewed by a jury of art professionals and ranked based on quality, relevance to the theme and ISEA, originality, and potential impact. The artistic chairs and curators will make final recommendations for acceptance or rejection, considering the jury’s evaluations, overall feasibility, and alignment with the symposium’s exhibition program. Final decisions rest with the organizing committee.
Outcome
Selected artists/artworks will be curated into the ISEA2026 exhibition, screening, etc. Selected performances may be staged in outdoor or indoor venues; thus, please be sure to describe any special requirements.
