<p class="mainText"><a href="http://www.leonardo.info/isast/journal/toc425.html" border="0"><img src="img/Leo_42-5_cover100.jpg" div="" align="left" border="0"></a></p><p><strong><em>Inside Leonardo 42:5:</em></strong> <strong>Did you get my message (and know it was one)?</strong>: When trying to communicate with extraterrestrials, not much can be assumed. Authors Guillermo Lemarchand and Jon Lomberg ask what "cognitive universals" might survive interstellar translation. <strong>Nature: an old architect who’s back in style</strong>: Imagine a building that will "digest carbon monoxide, purify air, recycle water, harvest power and cool itself"---and more. For Dennis Dollens, earth's the limit. <strong>Putting the world back in the wide web</strong>: Japanese media art brings its own sense of place to virtual, global cyberspace. Jean Ippolito connects this local culture with its cyberculture (minus clichés). <strong>Sonic sails and fashionable fungus</strong>: The Coded Cloth Gallery, from the Australian Network for Art and Technology, weaves together code, clothing and cultural critique. <a href="http://www.leonardo.info/isast/journal/toc425.html">Find out more</a></p>
