<h4>March YASMIN Discussion: Multisensory Perception</h4>
<p class="mainText">We perceive the world with all our senses. In visual media we've become mesmerized by the vibrancy of saturated colored light. Ipods and MP3 players allow singular insular worlds of sound, which have become a personal soundtrack to real life. Our sense of smell is informed by a synthetic overlay of fragrance in our personal space. For the month of March, join the <strong>YASMIN discussion group</strong> on the topic of <strong>multisensory perception</strong>. <a href="http://www.leonardo.info/isast/announcements/YASMIN_MultisensoryPerception_March2010.html">Find out more</a></p>
<h3>Publications</h3>

<p class="mainText"><a href="http://leonardo.info/isast/leobooks/books/graham-cook.html"><img src="http://www.leonardo.info/isast/leobooks/img/covers/graham-cook-new_cover_100-border.jpg" border="0" align="left"></a><strong><em>Rethinking Curating</em></strong> by Beryl Graham and Sarah Cook explores the characteristics distinctive to new media art, including its immateriality and its questioning of time and space, and relates them to such contemporary art forms as video art, conceptual art, socially engaged art, and performance art. The authors, both of whom have extensive experience as curators, offer numerous examples of artworks and exhibitions to illustrate how the roles of curators and audiences can be redefined in light of new media art's characteristics. <strong><em>Rethinking Curating</em> is now available through the Leonardo Book Series (MIT Press).</strong> <a href="http://leonardo.info/isast/leobooks/books/graham-cook.html">Find out more</a></p>
