Thank you for your paper presentation from various fields and for your participation in the panel discussions. We welcome you to this event Pythagoras, a backbone of Western culture, defined the music of the with much enthusiasm and excitement. We hope that the ISEA2002 spheres as follows.

Individual spheres form in line at the inter- val corresponding to the length of strings originating chords. From ISEA2002 NAGOYA with the theme of [Orai] has the following goals. the movement of spheres, the music, in other words, the harmony of To provide a forum where various opinions spheres will be born.'

This is the theme influenced by one another than commonly thought. of new media art. It is also the theme of ISEA2002 NAGOYA, which is [Orai] between the heavens and the earth. As seen in the history of photography progress, artists have continu- ously sought after new technology and realized it, and they have used it Everything that exists is beautiful. as new media for expression. Just as Leonardo da Vinci can simultane- ously possess scientific sense, engineering technique, and artistic eyes KOHMURA Masao ISEA2002 NAGOYA President of Steering Committee On behalf of the Inter-Society for the Electronic Arts (ISEA), we con- gratulate the ISEA2002 organkers for presenting ORAI, the htISEA symposium in Asia. The realization of this event contributes to expanding the cultural diversity of ISEA, which is an important aspect of the ISM mandate. Today, we see diversity emerging as a major trend in the international cultural landscape of media arts, as evident in the themes of many international festivals and conferences. ISEA, by its nomadic nature, is uniquely positioned to enlarge the discussions surrounding diversity by creating dynamic worldwide onsite exchanges. Japan is highly regarded as one of the focal points of electronic arts practice. Japanese artists often present their work within the global framework of exhibitions and festivals. While the many significant artistic projects produced in Japan are enjoyed by wide audiences throughout the world, Japan is still a distant place for many people. ISEAZOOB provides the oppomity to invert the practice of exporting Japanese art by bringing the work of artists from afar to Japan, as well as inviting these artists to experience Japanese works within their own cultural context. We hope that ISEA2002 Symposium becomes a gateway to widening the horizons of the Electronic Arts communities in thougout the world.
