In this issue, editor-in-chief, Nisar Keshvani announces Leonardo Electronic
Almanac's "*Refreshed, crinkle-free with same great content* " campaign.
This brand-new interface along with a fresh new look was developed in
collaboration with Eva Sim and Drake Nox.

Transport yourself into *LEA*'s latest, that peeks into the world of
locative media. The extensive offerings are chock-full with insights of this
fascinating topic, which "is understood to include bodily, technological and
cultural components, combining cultural practices and the embodiment of the
user, with various 'media' and location sensing technologies such as GPS."

"As an emerging field, locative media is simultaneously opening up new ways
of engaging in the world and mapping its own domain," defines Locative Media
Special <http://leoalmanac.org/journal/vol_14/lea_v14_n03-04/intro.asp>issue
guest editor Drew Hemment.

Indulge in the Locative Media Gallery. Locative Media, on and off the beaten
track <http://leoalmanac.org/gallery/index.asp>curated by Suhjung Hur, Annie
On Ni Wan and Andrew Paterson, it explores this "hybrid and still emerging
media culture and research field, (which) includes a rich spectrum of
activities: collaborative mapping, open technology experimentation,
tactical/surveillance critique, urban gameplay and subjective storytelling."


Additionally, for the first time, an associated curriculum section and
bibliography index is developed to provide our community of artists,
scientists and technologists with access to valuable resources developed by
our community of international experts for the art, science and technology
community.

Subject: [LEAuthors] Leonardo Party Invitation - 6 Aug
Message-ID: <5d60ab0c0607261637p44448110g1147b1505947cdae@mail.gmail.com>

Dear Leonardo Friend,

You are invited to attend a private Leonardo party on the evening of 6
August 2006 in San Jose, CA. This two-tiered event will be both a
reception for friends of Leonardo attending the Pacific Rim New Media
Summit as well as a fundraiser to help kick off Leonardo's 40th
Anniversary celebration. We hope you will be able to join us for the
occasion.  Please send us an RSVP (see below) if you will be able to attend.


Forty years ago, in 1966, friends and colleagues of Frank Malina began
meeting in the living room at No. 17 Rue Emile Dunois, Paris, France, to
dream up what has become the Leonardo organization
( www.leonardo.info/isast/leostory.html). The first project, the journal
Leonardo, saw its first issue published in 1968. Archives of the
journal, as well as those of its sister publication, the Leonardo Music
Journal, include the work of more than 4,000 artists in the Leonardo
community. These archives are now available on JSTOR to members of the
organization. The August 6th party will be the first official event
leading up to a grand gala to be held in 2008 to mark the 40th
anniversary of the journal Leonardo.

RSVP by Friday, 28 July 2006 by sending email to kq at leonardo.info and we
will send you more details about the reception.

We will have special guests and activities planned during the evening,
so please try to join us. I hope to see you there!


Roger Malina,
Chair, Leonardo/ISAST
