ISEA 2014

In November 2014, Streaming Museum partnered in the ISEA2014 Dubai conference and exhibitions with Zayed University, the Dubai Convention Bureau and a range of cultural and creative partners in the Middle East. The theme of the program is Dubai is the LOCATION where Art, Science and Technology Come Together.

Dubai 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. For presenters and attendees of ISEA, it will be an experience like no other. Dubai is in a location, where everything around it is going through massive change—socially and politically.

In partnership with ISEA2014 Dubai – the 20th International Symposium on Electronic Art, the Streaming Museum presented the following video program for the SIKKA Art Fair in Dubai 2013, March 14 to 24.
