  • The Dutch Foundation for Creative Computer
    The Dutch Foundation for Creative Computer Applications (in Dutch: the SCCA) had been active in the 80ties in introducing the computer into the curriculum of Dutch art schools. Then it decided to broaden its vision: it wanted to bring together the different traditional art disciplines, because the computer would be helpful in bringing about unique co-operations and unique new art forms. Secondly it decided to go international. Trigger behind these activities was the notion that art and science should compliment each other and that the gap between the two was a threat to our future. The field of electronic technology seemed the place were artists couldn’t do without the scientists, so co-operation was inevitable. The founders of the SCCA, Theodor Hesper (computer scientist) and Wim van der Plas (sociologist), started to work on an “International Conference on Electronic Art”, to take place in 1986. It was too optimistic and the starting year soon became 1988. Besides, ‘Conference’ was changed into ‘Symposium’, because it sounded better. The Rotterdam based SCCA started a co-operation with the Utrecht School of Arts and the symposium (FISEA, First International Symposium on Electronic Art) took place in Utrecht in September 1988. There were a few hundred people, mainly from Europe, the USA and Australia. Many of them came either from the world of computer graphics or from the world of computer music. At this first ISEA they learned from each other they were experimenting with the same software (for example fractals), without knowing of each other’s work. Remember that there was no WWW at that time and internet only in use at universities.
