We would like to thank all of our committee members who have given their time voluntarily to contribute to the curatorial and academic processes for ISEA2013. We were overwhelmed, as were our committee members, at the amount of interest to either exhibit or present at ISEA2013, which made the committee’s participation only more valuable. We are extremely grateful for their expertise and recommendations.
