Leonardo Special Issue
Pacific Rim New Media Summit Companion
Leonardo Volume 39, No. 4 (August 2006)
Leonardo is pleased to be a co-sponsor of the Pacific Rim New Media
Summit (PRNMS), a pre-conference event to ISEA2006. In conjunction
with PRNMS, Leonardo will release a special issue of the Leonardo
journal to serve as a summit companion. Guest-edited by artist and
educator Greg Niemeyer, this special issue of Leonardo follows the
Working Group structure of the summit itself, featuring introductory
texts by the Working Group chairs and preliminary papers of Working
Group members.
This special issue of Leonardo will be included in the registration
packs of all ISEA2006 early-bird conference registrants (until 15 June
2006), with additional copies available for sale at ISEA2006.
Highlights of Leonardo 39:4 include:
Surfing the outernet: Where net art presented the medium of the
Internet, locative art brings to the fore the media of mobile and
wireless systems. Drew Hemment unfolds a taxonomy of locative-art
approaches to the gap between the perfect grid and the reality of the
mapped world.
Cyber-mythologies and portraits of dispossession: Rachel O'Reilly
examines how Asian and Pacific understandings of place in recent work
by Vernon Ah Kee, Lisa Reihana and Qiu Zhijie expand the frames of
contemporary locative art.
Cartographies of the future: Annie Lambla discusses the San Francisco
Exploratorium's Invisible Dynamics project, which considers the
museum's relocation from a perspective integrating art, science and
geographic context.
Culture, uncontained: Commerce, communication and technology
intertwine in the works of the Pacific Rim New Media Summit exhibition
Container Culture. Artists from Mumbai to Vancouver use the medium and
metaphor of shipping containers to explore regional and global
complexities.
