EVENTS

GLOBAL WARNING SYMPOSIUM RECAP
Leonardo/ISAST thanks the speakers, sponsors, partners and audience  
participants who helped make the GLOBAL WARNING: Artists, Scientists  
and Environmental Activism Symposium a success. The symposium brought  
together practitioners from a large variety of disciplines, from  
scientists conducting research aimed at solving environmental crises  
to artists creating works that engage the public to ethicists  
reminding us that concern for the environment encompasses our concern  
for ourselves and our future as humans.

In particular we would like to thank the speakers, including:  
Kathleen Dean Moore, Gail Wight, Gerard Kuperus, Peter Roopnarine,  
Karen Holl, Marisa Jahn, Tiffany Holmes, Meredith Tromble, The  
Climate Clock Initiative Teams, Andrea Polli, Tim Dye, Buster  
Simpson, Robin Lasser, Marguerite Perret, Jade Chang; our sponsors:  
City of San José Office of Cultural Affairs, University of San  
Francisco Dean's Office of Arts and Sciences, USF Philosophy Dept,  
USF Environmental Science Dept, USF Art & Architecture Dept, The  
Journal of Global Environmental Politics, Calit2, Berkeley Center for  
New Media, Rachel Crawford and Marcia Tanner; and our partners in  
organizing the symposium.

A virtual goodie bag made for symposium participants is available on- 
line at http://www.leonardo.info/goodies.html with free articles on  
art, science and the environment, discounts and more (available  
through October 17, 2010).

transpired during the day on the Leonardo Twitter account (see  
sidebar for link). In the meantime, we are continuing to update the

PUBLICATIONS

LMJ 21 CALL FOR PAPERS
BEYOND NOTATION: COMMUNICATING MUSIC
Peer-to-peer file exchange, the iTunes store, MySpace, Pandora – by  
2010 it's obvious that the Internet has radically transformed the  
economy and culture of selling, distributing, owning and hearing  
recorded music. Less discussed is the Web's impact on that part of  
music that used to be called "the score" – instructions, suggestions  
and materials for performing, rather than consuming, music. For  
Volume 21 of Leonardo Music Journal we solicit papers that address  
the impact of technological change on how we distribute instructions  
and materials for musical performance. Deadline for abstracts:  
October 15, 2010. Find out more
