Leonardo Electronic Almanac: September 2004
ISSN#1071-4391
art | science | technology - a definitive voice since 1993
http://lea.mit.edu

In LEA's August issue, the central feature is an article co-authored by
Motti Benari of Israel and five colleagues who describe their fascinating
project, CULTOS, which is based on the intertextual thread, a "new cultural
unit." 

In the article, they present ways of expanding the use of hypertextual and
intertextual methods, which can aid in a number of fields, including
academic research. 

In Leonardo Reviews, we present reviews of the books *Neo-Baroque Aesthetics
and Contemporary Entertainment* and *Ghouls, Gimmicks, and Gold: Horror
Films and the American Movie Business, 1953-1968*, an unlikely but revealing
subject for academic critique. 

In our news section, we bring you up to date, as always, on the latest
developments in the Leonardo/ISAST community, including initiatives to
pursue experimental publishing projects, publication of abstracts of
academic theses, and a news item that illustrates the urgent need for
artists to be aware of potential legal infringement on their civil
liberties. All in one issue ...

Latest Calls for Papers

------------------------------
 
* Geography of Pain *

LEA is seeking short texts/abstracts (with imagery and project URLs) by
artists and scientists, or artist/scientist teams, whose work addresses pain
in all its forms. Projects of interest include aesthetic works that address
subjective experiences, social conditions, and cultural constructions of
pain. Projects on the art of healing are of interest as well, especially
multidisciplinary approaches that integrate Eastern and Western traditions.
We will also consider current health science, computer science, and
engineering research relevant to these topics. 

Deadline for submissions: 15 October 2004

* Gallery Special: Global Crossings *

The LEA Gallery is looking to make visible the work of international
artists, professionals and scholars who live and work in a wide variety of
situations where access to established venues for exhibition, display and
publication is limited. Difficulty of access may be attributed to cultural,
geographic, ethnic, institutional or disciplinary diversity, or issues
related to the North/South divide, age, gender, etc. 

!!! ** Extended Deadline **!!!: 15 November 2004

What is LEA?

----------------------

For over a decade, Leonardo Electronic Almanac (LEA) has thrived as an
international peer-reviewed electronic journal and web archive, covering the
interaction of the arts, sciences and technology. LEA emphasizes rapid
publication of recent work and critical discussion on topics of current
excitement. Many contributors are younger scholars and artists, and there is
a slant towards shorter, less academic texts.

 Contents include Leonardo Reviews, edited by Michael Punt, Leonardo
Research Abstracts of recent Ph.D. and Masters theses, curated Galleries of
current new media artwork, and special issues on topics ranging from Artists
and Scientists in times of War, to Zero Gravity

Art, to the History of New Media.
