PUBLICATIONS

LEONARDO VOL. 42, ISSUE 5 IS NOW AVAILABLE

Inside Leonardo 42:5: Did you get my message (and know it was one)?:  
When trying to communicate with extraterrestrials, not much can be  
assumed. Authors Guillermo Lemarchand and Jon Lomberg ask what  
"cognitive universals" might survive interstellar translation.  
Nature: an old architect who’s back in style: Imagine a building that  
will "digest carbon monoxide, purify air, recycle water, harvest  
power and cool itself"---and more. For Dennis Dollens, earth's the  
limit. Putting the world back in the wide web: Japanese media art  
brings its own sense of place to virtual, global cyberspace. Jean  
Ippolito connects this local culture with its cyberculture (minus  
clichés). Sonic sails and fashionable fungus: The Coded Cloth  
Gallery, from the Australian Network for Art and Technology, weaves  
together code, clothing and cultural critique. Find out more

SYMBIOTICA JOINS THE LEONARDO AFFILIATE MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM
SymbioticA is an artistic laboratory dedicated to research, learning,  
critique and hands-on engagement with the life sciences. With a  
strong emphasis on experiential practice, SymbioticA facilitates a  
thriving program of residencies, research, academic courses  
(undergraduate and postgraduate), exhibitions, symposiums, and  
workshops. Researchers and students from all disciplines work on  
individual projects or in interdisciplinary teams to explore the  
shifting relations and perceptions of life. As a research center  
within the School of Anatomy and Human Biology at The University of  
Western Australia, SymbioticA enables direct and visceral engagement  
with scientific techniques. Crossing the disciplines of art and the  
life sciences, SymbioticA encourages better understanding and  
articulation of cultural ideas around scientific knowledge and  
informed critique of the ethical and cultural issues of life  
manipulation. SymbioticA won the inaugural Golden Nica in Hybrid Arts
