In his article published in Crikey, 23 September 2011, Ben Eltham states: “For a long time, the Australia Council and many other parts of our local arts sector have turned their backs on new media and digital culture”. Anyone who was fortunate enough to attend ISEA International’s 17th International Symposium on Electronic Art (Istanbul, 14-21 September), will see plenty of evidence to the contrary.
ISEA 2011 Istanbul was a tribute to the talent and thought-provoking contribution that Australian artists make on the international stage in this exciting arena of art.
