http://mitpress2.mit.edu/e-journals/LEA/LEA2004/authors.htm#pain

As part of Leonardo's ongoing Art and Biology project, the Leonardo
Electronic Almanac (ISSN No: 1071-4391) is seeking short texts (with imagery
and project URLs) by artists and scientists, or artist/scientist teams,
whose work addresses pain in all its forms.  Projects of interest include
aesthetic works that address subjective experiences, social conditions, and
cultural constructions of pain. Projects on the art of healing are of
interest as well, especially multidisciplinary approaches that integrate
Eastern and Western traditions.  We will also consider current health
science, computer science, and engineering research relevant to these
topics.

LEA encourages international artists / academics / researchers / students to
submit their proposals for consideration. We particularly encourage authors
outside North America and Europe to send proposals for
articles/gallery/artists statements.

This LEA Special is part of a new collaborative initiative on pain
management, founded by:
* Tom Ettinger, Yale University, and interim Executive Director, Art &
Science Collaborations, Inc. (http://www.asci.org)

* Julian Gresser, Chairman, Alliances for Discovery
