In this month's LEA, the first issue of 2005, our central text is 
an article by Kathryn Farley on *The DuSable Project*, a 
"collaborative, media-intensive" event that combines elements of 
improv comedy, theater, computer-based technology and hypertext.

>From LEA's archive, first published in January 1994, we present an 
excerpt from "B*rbie'sVirtualPlayhouse at CityOfTheFuture.ent" with 
Henry See providing an insider perspective, as he tackles 
sensitive issues in the description about his piece. This is a 
multimedia work lampooning Virtual Sex, and was presented at 
SIGGRAPH '93. Subcribers can access the LEA archive at: 
http://mitpress2.mit.edu/e-journals/LEA/archive.html

In Leonardo Reviews, we include reviews by Mike Leggett on the 
book *Film Art Phenomena*, René Beekman on *New Philosophy for New 
Media* and John Knight on *Funology: From Usability to 
Enjoyment*.

In other sections, we extend a big "thank you" to all our 2004 
international peer-reviewers and present a complete 2004 LEA 
Author Index and issue highlights - a useful indexing feature for 
researchers. Check in on the latest events in the Leonardo/ISAST 
community.

What is LEA?
------------
For over a decade, the 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.
