<p>This month, editor in chief, Nisar Keshvani announces the<a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://leoalmanac.org/journal/Vol_15/lea_v15_n05_06/toc.asp" target="_blank"><font color="#003399">
LEA - ACM Multimedia Interactive Arts Program Special </font></a>. Guest edited by Alejandro Jaimes, the founder of the ACM Multimedia Interactive Art Program, he begins with a stealthy discussion of the context and importance in which the art program was created. In this installment, Alejandro carefully selects pearls of multimedia morsels from the 2004-2006 editions of the art program and deliciously strings them out for your pleasure.
<br><br>This collective includes Jodi James and colleagues who describe a movement-based interactive dance performance, Chi-Min Hsieh and Annie Luciani proposing a series of physics-based models relating to dance verbs and Jürgen Scheible's MobiLenin and Manhattan Story Mashup - two colorful projects where multimodal user interfaces were built from personal mobile phones. Atau Tanaka's work explores social music systems and malleable music using mobile devices, Kazuhiro Jo and colleagues' sine wave orchestra is a symphony of concepts and technical details where sine waves generated by individuals are used to create a collective sound representation.
<br><br>Next, venture into the workings of evolvable hardware in artistic installations with Raquel Paricio and J. Manuel Moreno Aróstegui and discover Andrew Webb and team's description of a new type of affordance, the choreographic button, which integrates choreography, gesture recognition and visual feedback.
<br><br>Equally proud, LEA announces that on 21 April 2007, LEA New Media and Poetics Guest Editor Tim Peterson and Loss Pequeño Glazier, Founder and Director of the Electronic Poetry Center hosted a symposium at "<a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://leoalmanac.org/resources/sprojects/nmp/index.asp" target="_blank">
