The Conference of the 19th International Symposium on Electronic Art, ISEA2013, was held at the University of Sydney from 11-13 June, 2013. Presented by the Australian Network for Art and Technology (ANAT) and held alongside Vivid Sydney, the Symposium showcased a selection of electronic and media artworks from around the world and staged a suite of events across Sydney that provided a platform for the lively exchange of future-focused ideas. Speakers at the conference were invited to respond to several topics linked to ISEA2013's theme Resistance is Futile. Following the conference, participants were invited to develop their presentation into a scholarly paper for publication in the proceedings.

The papers collected here were peer reviewed to HERDC standards (two reviewers per paper) by colleagues from around the world. The review process for the proceedings was separate from the review process for acceptance of abstracts. Kathy Cleland, Laura Fisher and Ross Harley then edited and compiled the final versions, and would like to thank all the authors and peer reviewers for their contributions.
