ISEA 2026

Dubai is hosting the 2026 International Symposium on Electronic Arts – an annual gathering that is one of the world’s foremost get-togethers for artists, designers, technologists, academics, curators, and museum professionals to consider the future of digital art.

The academic programme (presentations, workshops, panels etc) is paid-for but the artistic programme is free – among other spaces involved, there are exhibitions at Kanvas and The Foundry, “experiences” at Expo City’s Al Wasl Dome and ARTE Museum in Dubai Mall, and performances at TODA. As the bumf has it, “over ten days, more than 100 selected artworks and installations exploring the intersection of art and technology will be shown in galleries and spaces across the Emirate, free and open to the public”.

The full list of what’s showing where is here.
