ISEA2015 Disruption
ISEA2015’s theme of DISRUPTION invites a conversation about the aesthetics of change, renewal, and game-changing paradigms. We look to raw bursts of energy, reconciliation, error, and the destructive and creative forces of the new. Disruption contains both blue sky and black smoke. When we speak of radical emergence we must also address things left behind. Disruption is both incremental and monumental. In practices ranging from hacking and detournement to inversions of place, time, and intention, creative work across disciplines constantly finds ways to rethink or reconsider form, function, context, body, network, and culture. Artists push, shape, break; designers reinvent and overturn; scientists challenge, disprove and re-state; technologists hack and subvert to rebuild. Disruption and rupture are fundamental to digital aesthetics. Instantiations of the digital realm continue to proliferate in contemporary culture, allowing us to observe ever-broader consequences of these effects and the aesthetic, functional, social and political possibilities that arise from them.

Affiliations - Remix and Intervene: Computing Sound and Visual Poetry
In this exhibit, sound is represented as an overarching medium connecting the artworks displayed. Visitors of the “Affiliations” exhibit will find poetic works that radically explore language and sound. For the curators, sound is one of the fundamental aspects, if not the core, of experimental and digital poetics. Yet, as some writers and critics have pointed out - especially Chris Funkhouser, Hazel Smith, and John Barber - sound has not been sufficiently highlighted as a fundamental trait of electronic literature.
The “Affiliations” exhibit presents works that embrace appropriation and remix of older and contemporary pieces - be they merely formalist or politically engaged - as pervasive creative methods in experimental poetics. Furthermore, it suggests that electronic literature can be seen as a heterogeneous field of self-reflexive experimentation with the medium, language, sound, code, and space.
