[Leonardo/ISAST]

Leonardo/the International Society for the Arts, Sciences and Technology is pleased to announce the top-rated abstracts published in the Leonardo Abstracts Service Databases during the 1st, 2nd and 3rd quarters of 2005. 

Leonardo Abstracts Service (LABS), consisting of the English LABS database and Spanish LABS database, is a comprehensive collection of Ph.D., Masters and MFA thesis abstracts on topics in the emerging intersection between art, science and technology. Individuals receiving advanced degrees in the arts (visual, sound, performance, text), computer sciences, the sciences and/or technology that in some way investigate philosophical, historical or critical applications of science or technology to the arts are invited to submit abstracts of their theses for consideration. 

Top-rated abstracts in both the English and Spanish language databases are chosen on a quarterly basis by peer-review panels under the guidance of Sheila Pinkel and Pau Alsina and published in the Leonardo Electronic Almanac.
