LEONARDO at SIGGRAPH TOWN HALL MEETING

When:  Wednesday August 3, 2005, 4-6 p.m. 
Where:  Meeting Room (auditorium) of the International Center (Los Angeles
Convention Center South Lobby), SIGGRAPH 2005 Conference.

We invite all members of the Leonardo organizations and all those interested
in the intersection of the arts, sciences and technology to join us for an
open meeting to discuss current Leonardo projects and future directions.
This is an open meeting to anyone interested in meeting with members of
Leonardo Boards, Committees and Projects.

We will also announce the awarding of the 2005 Frank J. Malina--Leonardo
Lifetime Achievement Award to pioneering Brazilian artist Abraham Palatnik.
Beginning in the 1940s, Palatnik played a key role in the Brazilian art
scene by bringing to pictorial art the potential of light and motion in time
and space. Since that time, Palatnik has continued to explore the fusion of
art, science and technology in creative ways and is still actively working
on the conception and production of new art forms:
