<h4>Free Article: The Tree, the Spiral and the Web of Life, by Joana Ricou and John Archie Pollock</h4>
<p class="mainText"><img src="http://www.leonardo.info/images/Ricou_150.jpg" align="left" border="0">Abstract: The authors created the <em>Spiral of Life</em> as a new, accessible symbol for the evolution of life. This novel visual interpretation of evolution challenges traditional tenets of the field in light of emerging new themes in research. <em>The Spiral</em> brings recent principles to the general public and also provides scientists with a new visual concept to support further discussion. <em>The Spiral</em> emerged from the combination of the analysis of the latest scientific research with an artistic process to create new images and icons. A resulting complementary series of artworks was installed in five cultural institutions and museums in Pittsburgh, PA. <strong>(This article is published in <em>Leonardo</em> 45:1, 2012 and available to read for free on the MIT Press web site.)</strong> <a href="http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1162/LEON_a_00321">Read the article</a></p>
