<h4>Art, Science and the Environment<br>From the Leonardo and LMJ Archives</h4>
<p class="mainText"><em>Leading up to the <a href="http://www.leonardo.info/isast/2010symposium.html">GLOBAL WARNING Symposium</a>, we will be publishing abstracts from papers that have been published in</em> Leonardo <em>and</em> LMJ <em>over the years on art, science and the environment. Many of these papers are available for free to current </em> Leonardo <em>and</em> LMJ <em> subscribers. Papers published before 2005 are available through the JSTOR digital archive.</em></p>
<p class="mainText"><strong>"Wilderness as Reentrant Form: Thoughts on the Future of Electronic Art and Nature Wilderness as Reentrant Form" by David Dunn</strong><br>
ABSTRACT: Proceeding from an assumption that electronic representations of the natural environment (both recorded and real time) not only can help give humanity a greater awareness of the complexity of the non-human world but also can contribute toward alleviating the problems posed by recreational overuse of the wilderness, the author argues for institutional encouragement of technologically sophisicated artists working toward this possibility. Current examples of artistic works are discussed within a philosophical context. [This paper was originally published in <em>Leonardo</em> Vol. 21, No. 4, 1988, and is currently available to <em>Leonardo</em> and <em>LMJ</em> subscribers through the JSTOR digital archive.] </p>
<p class="mainText"><strong>"Planet Earth in Contemporary Electronic Artworks" by Julian Knebusch</strong><br>
ABSTRACT: This article presents an overall view of contemporary electronic artworks related to Planet Earth as a topic of artistic inquiry. The author presents and interprets philosophically the different ways in which artists have approached Planet Earth and tried to reappropriate this object of modernity. In order to do so he outlines a phenomenological reading of these artworks and confronts them with the well-established phenomenological discourse about humans' relationship to Planet Earth. [This paper was originally published in <em>Leonardo</em> Vol. 37, No. 1, 2004, and is currently available to <em>Leonardo</em> and <em>LMJ</em> subscribers through the MIT Press web site.] </p>

<h3>Community</h3>
<h4>Leonardo @ Ars Electronica</h4>
<p class="mainText">What kind of new art genres are being developed by artists’ creative use of mixed media technologies, visual culture and communities and what is their impact on education? How is design research and education being embedded in the new modular curricula structures? What are the most effective elements of curricula to educate artists as well as art teachers for the future? Leonardo will host a panel at Ars Electronica to inspire an open discussion by educators and the public on burning issues towards developing an international dialogue. <a href="http://www.leonardo.info/isast/announcements/Leonardo_Ars-Electronica_2010.html.html">Find out more</a></p>
<h3>Publications</h3>
<h4>Now Available from the Leonardo Book Series and MIT Press<br>
Enfoldment and Infinity, by Laura U. Marks</h4>
<p class="mainText"><a href="http://leonardo.info/isast/leobooks/books/marks.html"><img src="img/marks_cover_85-border.jpg" align="left"></a>In both classical Islamic art and contemporary new media art, one point can unfold to reveal an entire universe. A fourteenth-century dome decorated with geometric complexity and a new media work that shapes a dome from programmed beams of light: both can inspire feelings of immersion and transcendence. In <em><strong>Enfoldment and Infinity</strong></em>, Laura Marks traces the strong similarities, visual and philosophical, between these two kinds of art. Her argument is more than metaphorical; she shows that the "Islamic" quality of modern and new media art is a latent, deeply enfolded, historical inheritance from Islamic art and thought. <a href="http://leonardo.info/isast/leobooks/books/marks.html">Find out more</a></p>

<h4>"Ecotones" by Janine Randerson</h4>
<p class="mainText">"Ecotones" (working title) is a new data-ecological project by Janine Randerson that employs information from satellite telemetry and sonification of the paths of migratory birds from the Northern hemisphere to the Southern hemisphere. The bar-tailed godwit, a bird with the longest non-stop migration of any species, arrives annually in Miranda, an estuary in New Zealand's North Island. This area is an "ecotone," or transitional space between terrestrial and marine ecosystems; where land meets sea, saltwater meets freshwater. <a href="http://www.leonardo.info/isast/classads.html">Find out more</a></p>
