PUBLICATIONS

LEONARDO ELECTRONIC ALMANAC CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
ASTRONOMY, LUNACIES AND ENDS OF THE WORLD
The Astronomy, Lunacies and Ends of the World issue of LEA, in  
preparation for 2012, is planned as an interdisciplinary issue open  
to historical and sociological analysis, astronomical insights, ways  
that the universe connects to life on Earth, artists dealing with the  
heavens or the cataclysmic end of the world, the search for extra  
terrestrial life and intelligence and human migration off the planet.  
Astronomy, Lunacies and Ends of the World will analyze the role  
played by astronomy and earth sciences in the arts and sciences, but  
more importantly in shaping sociological relations, mass behaviors  
and hysteria that are at times inspiration for new artistic practices  
or scientific rigor. Find out more
