PUBLICATIONS

CREATIVE DATA SPECIAL ISSUE OF LEONARDO ELECTRONIC ALMANAC NOW AVAILABLE
The Creative Data special issue of Leonardo Electronic Almanac (LEA)  
features papers and artworks that deal with the emerging practice of  
data visualization as an immersive experience. Data has long been the  
property and domain of screen-based collection, archiving, processing  
and interaction. The emergence of new processes, functionality and  
ways of interacting with information is opening up several new areas  
of great possibility in which the data allows newfound thematic and  
engaging forms of immersion, as well as innovative and perception- 
reshaping interaction. Guest edited by Jack Ox, Jeremy Hight and Erik  
Champion. Find out more

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: SIGGRAPH 2010 ART PAPERS AND ART GALLERY
SIGGRAPH 2010, in collaboration with Leonardo/ISAST, seeks papers  
that illuminate and explore how people understand the changing roles  
of artists and art-making in our increasingly networked, multi- 
sensory, online world. Accepted papers will be featured in a special  
issue of Leonardo which will be published in conjunction with the  
SIGGRAPH 2010 conference. SIGGRAPH is also looking for exceptional  
works of art, completed in the last two years, by artists who  
physically engage technology in their creative process. The aim is to  
gather a compelling and varied group of creative projects that relate  
to the SIGGRAPH 2010 Art Gallery theme, "TouchPoint: The Haptic  
Exchange Between Digits." Find out more
