LASER is a bimonthly series of lectures and presentations organized by Piero Scaruffi on behalf of Leonardo/ISAST

6:00pm-6:30pm: Socializing/networking

6:45-7:15pm: Thomas Zimmerman IBM Almaden Research Center, on "Music as the Mother of Invention"

Many of my inventions started as input devices for musical instruments. The DataGlove was a means to play air guitar. The Personal Area Network was a means to play air drums. I shall discuss the development of input devices for electronic musical instruments and how they contributed to inventions.

7:15-7:45pm: William Hsu and Matt Heckert of the Multimedia & Visualization Lab at SFSU on "Sound Machines and Computer Control"

An overview of several mechanical sound installations and performances they have collaborated on over a 5 year period: the Rotifiers/Centripetal Sound, the Fencers, and the Chainboxes.

7:45-8:00pm: Break

8:00-8:20pm: Sharon Siskin, of WEAD

Over the past 20 years my studio art has had clear and sometimes subtle overlaps with science. Some recent projects make visual the detritus our family produces in the process of raising twin daughters. I will be showing documentation of a variety of recent and past gallery projects; from work that resulted in the creation of a garden at an AIDS hospice, to installations that combined reused, altered X-rays and scientific paraphernalia to address issues related to food and my ethnic identity, loss, memory and healing.

8:20-8:40pm: Deborah Munk, of the San Francisco Dump

An overview of the Artist in Residence Program at SF Recycling & Disposal and will focus on a few of the 70 artists who have had residencies. I will also discuss recycling, the Eastern Pacific Garbage Patch and sustainability.

Leonardo Art Science Evening Rendezvous (LASER)
SFSU Downtown Center, 835 Market Street, 6th Floor
San Francisco, CA

LASER is a bimonthly series of lectures and presentations organized by Piero Scaruffi on behalf of Leonardo/ISAST

6:00pm-6:30pm: Socializing/networking

6:45-7:15pm: Joaquin Alvarado, Director of SFSU's Institute for Next Generation Internet, on "Economies of Representation and the Rise of Transactional Identity"

Converging platforms and persistent user interactions on the network have created a new tension in communities and communication. Individual agency is now being applied as a quantifiable transaction in the evolving event-horizon of ubiquitous computing. As users continue to deploy mediated actions in abstracted media forms they are inevitably engaging in negotiations with automated agents. This creates a friction point that will deliver the new economics of identity.

7:15-7:45pm: Amy Ione, Director of the Diatrope Institute, on "Art and the Brain"

Art practice and appreciation are generally considered products of human culture, rather than areas for scientific investigation. Yet, perhaps because art that is quintessentially exquisite speaks so deeply to us, it is difficult to see human culture as a map for one1s individual experience with art. Now, with the explosion of brain research on cognition, perception, and sensation we are beginning to explore the nature of art in ways that include neurobiological and neuropsychological questions.

7:45-8:00pm: Roger Malina, CNRS Marseille, on Leonardo ISAST's worldwide activities

8:00-8:20pm: Robert Rich, Electronic and Digital Composer, on "Microtonal Music and Just Intonation"

A brief introduction to the use of tuning systems based upon ratios, focusing on musical examples and audio demonstrations, with just a bit of history and not much math.

8:20-8:40pm: Lynette Cook, Artist, on "Art and the Cosmos"

Known especially for her collaborations with Geoff Marcy and other exoplanet discoverers, Cook has painted many planet portraits, from those of our own solar system to those orbiting other stars. She will explain how she knows what these distant bodies look like.

8:40pm: Piero Scaruffi on the next Leonardo Art/Science evening

Leonardo Art Science Evening Rendezvous (LASER)

SFSU downtown
San Francisco, CA

LASER is organized by Piero Scaruffi on behalf of Leonardo/ISAST

6:00pm-6:30pm: Socializing/networking

6:30-6:45: Welcome by Jeff Babcock (Executive Director of the International Center for the Arts, SFSU, and Leonardo ISAST board member) and Piero Scaruffi

6:45-7:15: Ken Goldberg, Director of the Berkeley Center for New Media on "Robots as Naturalists"
Ken will present experiments and questions raised by robots and social networks, ranging from ouija boards to human "tele-actors," and tell a true story about how invasions of privacy led him and his students to investigate how robots can assist in monitoring the natural environment. he'll describe a robotic system they've deployed to assist the search for the ivory billed woodpecker, a bird of extreme interest to birdwatchers, ornithologists, and conservationists whose last confirmed sighting was in 1944. ken will also present the manifesto of the berkeley center for new media and propose a hopefully controversial definition of "media."

7:15-7:45: Carlo Sequin on "Knotty Sculptures"
This presentation explores the use of simple knots as constructivist building blocks for abstract geometrical sculptures. One approach places simple n-foil knots on the n-sided faces of a Platonic or Archimedean polyhedron. Another investigation explores various generating principles for the construction of recursive knots. For instance, a simple crossing of two strands is replaced with a more complicated tangled version of two strands, and the process is then repeated recursively. A few of these designs conceived on a computer are then developed further to make actual 3D models on various rapid prototyping machines.

7:45-8:00: Richard Rinehart, Curator of the Berkeley Art Museum, on the forthcoming UC Berkeley "Big Bang" conference
Berkeley's New Media Center and Leonardo ISAST are organizing a two-day academic conference to be held in June 2008 at the Berkeley Museum. Richard Rinehart, Curator of the Berkeley Museum, will present the Berkeley day of the conference (first day of the conference).

8:00-8:20: Kris Paulsen, grad student at Berkeley Center for New Media on "Participation TV".
Kris will examine a sequence of projects from the 1960s to the present in which artists have worked to reverse the unidirectional structure of broadcast television. These artists feed back into the networks by disrupting broadcasts, "hijacking" programs through pseudo-events and hostile takeovers, and by developing their own multi-directional systems that challenge the television viewer's traditionally passive role. By exploiting the potential for liveness on television news, CCTV, and public access, the artists addressed in this talk attempt to put viewers into direct contact with the event and with the others who are watching - the network becomes a crowd.

8:20-8:40pm: Trevor Paglen of the Department of Geography University of California at Berkeley on "The Other Night Sky"
Artist/geographer Trevor Paglen will talk about his recent project to track and photograph 189 classified "moons" (reconnaissance satellites) in Earth orbit. Along the way, he introduces us to an international network of satellite observers, tracks the history of two "stealth" satellites, and contemplates the relationship between classical empiricism and democracy.

8:45pm-9:45: Discussions, more socializing

LASER is organized by Piero Scaruffi on behalf of Leonardo/ISAST

6:00pm-7:00pm: Socializing/networking

7:00-7:30: Tami Spector of USF on "Chemistry and Contemporary Visual Art"
Relative to physics, mathematics, and biology the intersections of chemistry and contemporary visual art have been relatively neglected. In this talk I will explore some of the ways that modern and contemporary artists have explored this connection, focusing on how the visual arts share unique material and conceptual aspects with chemistry. Specific works by artists who self-define their art in relation to chemistry and others whose work can be recontextualized through the lens of chemistry will be discussed. See also this page.

7:30-8:00: Diane Gromala of Georgia Institute of Technology.

8:00-8:10: Piero Scaruffi on the Leonardo Day of the "Big Bang" conference
Berkeley's New Media Center and Leonardo ISAST are organizing a two-day academic conference to be held in June 2008 at the Berkeley Museum. I will briefly remind the audience of this conference and specifically of the program for the Leonardo day (second day of the conference). At the next Leonardo event on May 12 Richard Rinehart, Curator of the Berkeley Museum, will present the Berkeley day of the conference (first day of the conference).

8:10-8:30: Kathelin Gray on "Organic Realism"
The Institute of Ecotechnics (I.E.) was founded in the '70's with the premise that action and interaction promote learning and creativity. Annual conferences, projects in different ecological zones worldwide, in conjunction with scientific and artistic collaborations, have resulted in a network of people and efforts. The focus of this presentation will be the role of the arts and performance and the concept of organic realism, in such efforts.

8:30-8:50: Sharon Daniel on "Public Secrets"
The injustices of the Prison Industrial Complex are public secrets - secrets that the public chooses to keep safe from itself like, "don't ask, don't tell." Public Secrets provides an interactive interface to an audio archive of hundreds of statements made by current and former prisoners, which unmask the secret injustices of the war on drugs, the criminal justice system and the prison industrial complex. Visitors navigate a multi-vocal narrative that links individual testimony and public evidence, social theory and personal statements, in an effort to challenge the assumption that imprisonment provides a solution to social problems. Artist and Author Sharon Daniel will present this Webby award honored project and discuss the process of gathering and structuring the content for the internet.

Fire Arts & Burning Desires

swissnex San Francisco
730 Montgomery Street, San Francisco, CA 94111
2 November 2007

In a collaboration between Burning Man, Leonardo journal and swissnex San Francisco, an evening symposium titled Fire Arts & Burning Desires included several Burning Man fire artists, who discussed the use of their work with fire as a creative medium.

From pyrrhic highlight to transcendent interaction, when is fire an appropriate part of a sculptural statement? How do we use fire in a safe way for both the artist and the audience? Audience members learned about the behind the scenes gyrations of previous Burning Man fire art spectacles.

Fire Arts & Burning Desires was hosted by swissnex San Francisco and presented by Burning Man and Leonardo journal, who collaborated in publishing an exclusive collection of essays and photographs on the Fire Arts of Burning Man (Leonardo Volume 40 Issue # 4, 2007).

Speakers included Crimson Rose (The Fire Goddess), The Flaming Lotus Girls, (TBA), Bill Codding (The Burninator), Wally Glenn (The Flaming Zen Garden), Lucy Hosking, (Satan's Calliope) and DaveX, who will discussed the safety parameters of working with fire in an artistic way

ACM Siggraph Conference

San Diego, CA, USA
5-9 August 2007

Leonardo Education Forum hosted two panel sessions in honor of Leonardo's 40th anniversary and a Birds of a Feather (Town Hall) meeting at Siggraph 2007.

The World Has Changed: The Leonardo Network After 40 Years

Panel I: The Planet Has Changed: Art, Environment, and Sustainable Development
Tuesday, August 7, 2007
Time: 9 AM - 10:45 AM
Room 30 A

Human societies face a number of important issues related to the problems of sustainable development, environmental change, and climate change. Many artists have been involved in these issues over the last decades within the environmental and green movements. A new generation of artists, scientifically and technically literate, is engaging in new ways. The new planetary information-technology infrastructures and new-media technologies provide different approaches than were possible 40 years ago.

Panel II: Artists Have Changed: Art, Science, Technology Interaction
Tuesday, August 7, 2007
Time: 11 AM - 12:45 PM
Room 30 A

When Leonardo was founded 40 years ago, the theoretical context was the "two cultures" debate of C.P.Snow. Few artists were trained in science or engineering contexts, and access to new technologies drove a number of initiatives such as the E.A.T. programs and the MIT Center for Advanced Visual Studies, and new venues such as the SIGGRAPH Art Gallery, Ars Electronica, and ZKM. A new generation of artists, born digital and scientifically literate, is now radically altering the way these issues will be addressed in the future. This panel provides a 40-year perspective on how the work of artists and institutions has evolved, new trends, and future directions.

Roundtable: "The Art-Science-Technology Relations as seen through the Leonardo Book Series at MIT Press"

Ensba Paris Art School
14 rue Bonaparte 75006,
Conference Room 1st Floor,
Paris, France
6-8PM
26 June 2007

Participants: Roger Malina, Frank Popper (From Technological to Virtual Art), Eduardo Kac (Signs of Life: Bio Art and Beyond) and moderator Annick Bureaud.

This round table questioned the art, science, technology relations as seen through the Leonardo Book Series at MIT Press. Eduardo Kac and Frank Popper presented their books and points of view on the role and issues of publishing for new artforms. When new artforms emerge what role do artists play with their theoretical books in creating a public space for discussion? What are the connections between artworks and books in the body of work of an artist? What discourses and approaches on technoscientific art are emerging from the Leonardo Book Series? What are the aesthetical, theoretical and historical issues within this collection and more specifically within the two books that will be presented and discussed?

An Ear to the Earth: A Festival of Music, Sound and Ecology

New York City, NY
Co-sponsored by Leonardo/ISAST

An Ear to the Earth is an international festival bringing together work by creators from around the world - composers, sound and installation artists, scientists, naturalists, and environmentalists - exploring the interaction of humans, sound, and the environment. The recognition that our interaction with our environment, both natural and man-made, is a crucial issue of our time has inspired composers and artists to respond with an enormous and compelling body of works. This festival brought a sampling of those works into galleries, concert halls, and public spaces throughout New York City to explore the use of sound to know the world and engage people in environmental awareness.

The festival was conceived by Electronic Music Foundation (EMF) and organized in collaboration with the UNESCO DigiArts Portal, World Forum for Acoustic Ecology, New York City Audubon, New York University Music Technology Program, New York Society for Acoustic Ecology, The Acoustic Ecology Institute, and Leonardo/ISAST.

ISEA 2006: Seven Days of Art and Interconnectivity

San Jose, CA, USA

The Inter-Society for Electronic Arts (ISEA) is an international non-profit organization fostering interdisciplinary academic discourse and exchange among culturally diverse organizations and individuals working with art, science and emerging technologies. The ISEA Symposium is an international conference on electronic art that is held every two years in different locations around the world and attracts attendees from over 50 countries. The Thirteenth International Symposium on Electronic Arts was held in San Jose, California, August 7-13, 2006, in conjunction with the inaugural biennial ZeroOne San Jose: A Global Festival of Art on the Edge, a milestone festival to be held biennially.

ISEA2006 focused on the critical, theoretical and pragmatic exploration of four important themes: Transvergence, Interactive City, Community Domain and Pacific Rim.

What tactics, issues and conceptual practices expose or inform the distinctions of these subject terrains relating to contemporary art practice? What analyses illuminate art practice engaged with new technical and conceptual forms, functions and disciplines; provide for innovative tactical implementations of cultural production involving urbanity, mobility, community and locality; examine the roles and responsibilities of corporations, civic and cultural organizations, discuss strategic and economic planning as it relates to creative community; serve to expose new portals of production and experience; provide for interpretive bridges between cultures and identities; and provide for provocative examination of contemporary political and economic conditions? How is new media art practice re-shaping the world?

ACM Multimedia 2005 Interactive Art Program

Singapore, 6-12 November 2005
Sponsored by ACM SIGMM, SIGGRAPH, and SIGCOMM In collaboration with Leonardo

ACM Multimedia is the premier annual multimedia conference. The ACM Multimedia Interactive Art Program brings together the arts and multimedia communities to create the stage to explore, discuss, and push the limits for the advancement of both multimedia technology through the arts, and the arts through multimedia technology.

The ACM Multimedia Interactive Art Program consisted of a conference track and a multimedia art exhibition titled "Presence/Absence." The conference was held at the Hilton Hotel in Singapore, and the art exhibition was held at the LASALLE-SIA Gallery, Singapore.

"Presence/Absence" consisted of interdisciplinary art works that addressed the issue of presence in both artistic and technological, as well as in political (migration, home, sense of belonging and identification), contexts.¾ In particular, interactive multimedia works were sought in which the combination of multiple media, technologies, and novel technical ideas results in strong artistic concepts that give a new perspective on some aspect of presence.

The following artists were featured in the exhibition: Mauricio Arango, David Birchfield, Stephen Boyd Davis, Rachel Jacobs, Matt Watkins, Magnus Moar, John Cox, Chris Riddoch, Karl Cooke, Richard Hull, Tom Melamed, Alan Dunning, Paul Woodrow, Morley Hollenberg, Miha Cighlar, Petra Gemeinboeck, Mary Agnes Krell, Jason Nelson, Hideaki Ogawa, Noriaki Ando, Satoshi Onodera, Krister Olsson, Takashi Kawashima, Martin Pichlmair, Raquel Renno, Rafael Marchetti, Gonzague Defos du Rau, Jack Stenner, Andruid Kerne, Keiko Takahashi, Shinji Sasada, Yu-Chuan Tseng, Jason Lee, Yu-Cheng Hsu, Hisako Yamakawa.

A selection of the works accepted for the conference will be published in a Leonardo Gallery in the Leonardo print journal and on line in Leonardo Electronic Almanac.

Talk by Roger Malina Featured at the Exploratorium, San Francisco

Thursday, 30 Sept. 2004: Reception at 6:00 pm, Program at 6:30 pm

Leonardo Executive Editor Roger Malina will speak at the Exploratorium in San Francisco on the topic: "The New Leonardos: Why the Work of Artists Is Important for the Science and Technology of the Future." This talk is part of the Exploratorium's program "Meet the Minds: New Thoughts in Science and Art." Dr. Malina looks at how the work of artists today, like the work of the Renaissance master Leonardo, is injecting new ideas and approaches that will help define the science and technology of the next century. The recent discoveries of dark energy and dark matter motivate our need to re-examine the cultural context and contingencies that, in large part, determine what scientists work on, how they work, and which new technologies are viewed as "desirable" and fundable within society.
The Exploratorium is located at Exploratorium the Palace of Fine Arts, 3601 Lyon Street, San Francisco, California. For directions to the museum (recording): call (415) 561-0399. See

Melilla Colloquium on Art, Science and Spirituality
1st International Festival of Cultures, Melilla, Spain

Web site with further information: http://www.olats.org
Persons wishing to attend the Colloquium: http://www.melillafestival.org
Host: 1st International Festival of Cultures, Melilla, Spain
Poster Submission Deadline: June 20, 2004
see also Leonardo Call for submissions

Leonardo is pleased to announce a collaboration with the City of Melilla and the Al Andalus Foundation, for a colloquium on the reconnection of art, science, and spirituality. This intercultural dialogue is offered as one contribution towards cultural developments within the new planetary context.

Modern cosmology and physics emphasize the interdependence of complex systems on scales from the microscopic to the macroscopic. Contemporary genetics reveal the underlying shared genetic identity not only of all human beings, but the genetic relatedness of all life on earth. Current scientific discoveries reconnect science to a number of philosophical and spiritual traditions. These reconnections offer the promise of the development of new philosophical and value systems appropriate to new emerging linked planetary cultures.

Artists and Scientists have been at the forefront of the use of these new systems to build life-enhancing cultural developments in linked planetary contexts.

This colloquium, with 20 participating artists, scientists and philosophers, (see http://www.olats.org for a list of participants) is intended to be a listening post, an opportunity for inter-cultural dialogue and a specific step towards magnifying and amplifying new, emerging, planetary cultural practice.

The choice of the City of Melilla as the host for this colloquium is not an accident. Melilla has a millennial history of multi-cultural, multi-lingual synergy and dialogue within the Mediterranean context. The city offers itself as a podium to communicate outcomes of this first colloquium: to make real the opportunities for the reconnection of art, science and spirituality for the building of new 21st century planetary cultures.

Leonardo is issuing a call for posters for the colloquium from artists, scientists, engineers and philosophers. A poster presentation lasts at maximum 5 minutes. Posters will be also displayed during 3 days in the colloquium public spaces.

If you can't attend the Colloquium in person, you may send a VHS cassette which could be displayed during 5 minutes. See Leonardo call for submission. <

There is no funding available for participation in the symposium but there is no registration fee and there are reduced hotel rates and travel on Iberia. If you are interested in presenting a poster, please contact the following email address: julien_knebusch@yahoo.com.fr and submit an abstract (500 words maximum). You are encouraged to submit also website addresses where any texts on your work might be found.

We are seeking presentations that present specific scientific and artistic projects, and make visible the cultural/philosophical/religious situations that set a priori conditions and constraints on approaches and specific work.

The official languages of the colloquium will be English and Spanish, with simultaneous translation also into French.

Partial Funding for this Leonardo project has been provided by the Ford and Rockefeller Foundations and UNESCO DIGIARTS.

Space Art Workshop: Space: Science, Technology and the Arts
European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESA-ESTEC)
Noordwijk, The Netherlands

Since the birth of space exploration artists and space scientists have inspired each other in the development of humanityås space programs, regularly exchanging information, ideas and visions. Artists working with space subjects and themes invariably become heavily involved in both the physics and the technologies of space - either as muse, metaphor or subject or as a tool necessary for the development of their artistic creations. Artists, wanting to explore space on their own artistic terms, often must become very knowledgeable about the utilization of space technologies, materials, mechanisms and procedures in order to develop feasible art works and projects. Such projects are subject to the same conditions and regulations governing scientific experiments designed for space. Such activities have broadened the idea of space exploration within the space community while making space exploration understandable in other ways and accessible by larger public.

Now that the International Space Station (ISS) is nearing completion the ISS partners have begun to investigate ideas how this orbital facility can be utilized, not only as a platform for scientific experimentation, but also as a platform for cultural exploration and expression. This creates a new opportunity and challenge for artists and other cultural professionals to work closely together with space scientists, engineers, technologists and administrators in developing new concepts, projects and strategies.

The "Space: Science, Technology and the Arts" workshop promises to be an important pivotal event as it provides a unique opportunity for professionals in the space and the arts communities to meet, discuss and exchange new ideas related to the cultural exploration of space. Presentations are being solicited from space scientists, engineers, technologists, artists, writers, journalists, art critics, curators and philosophers who have a developed interest in the aims and theme of the workshop.

Curated by Annick Bureaud, this symposium is a joint project between the @rt Outsiders International Festival (http://www.art-outsiders.com) and Leonardo/Olats (http://www.olats.org).

The Visibility – Legibility of Space Art. Art and Zero Gravity: The Experience of Parabolic Flights symposium proposes to:

present the details of parabolic flights and consider the main issues outside of their spectacular nature;
specify their different roles within the creative process. Often perceived as the space where creation takes place (site of performance and exhibition), parabolic flights are first and foremost the space of experimentation (a "studio" or creative workshop) as well as the material for creation;
conduct a preliminary aesthetic analysis of the works: what is their form, what do they say, how do they relate to contemporary art and to techno-scientific art in general, in what way are they "informed" by weightlessness and the environment that constitutes the flight? etc.;
highlight the importance of these works within a broader artistic process;
raise questions regarding the "visibility" and "legibility" of the work, to question art critic.

Art in the Post-biological Era Symposium
Médiathèque de l'Ensba
CID, Palais des Etudes, Escalier droite, 1er étage
Paris, France

The symposium is organized by OLATS and CAiiA-STAR in cooperation with the Mediatheque of the Ecole nationale sup½rieure des beaux-arts (Paris National Art School).

Following the biological evolution, then the cultural and social evolution (from the first prehistorical tools up to nowadays), we are entering a new phase in which the future of Humans is framed by technologies, among which the biotechnologies.

With his theory of evolution, Darwin had confronted us with the continuum of the living... and with the necessity to redefine ourselves, as humans, in regard of other animals and, specially, the mamals. The technologies around us that emerged from cybernetics (telecomputation, artificial life, robotics) have lead us to a confrontation with the machine, the organic and the inorganic. Today, the biotechnologies confront us with the creation of new species, "artificial" living systems, that could, may be, give birth to a new "human". In this continuum between matter and life, carbon-based system and silicon-based system, a new way to deal with consciousness is emerging, toward a technoetic.

Those issues, central to the techno-sciences researches, the political and social debates, are also at the heart of art practices, be they Internet-based, or bio-technological related, or in connection with artificial life, or even with this very ancient art that is dance.

During those two days, through the presentations of the researches and artworks of the artists members of the research group CAiiA-STAR, this symposium will examine the current creations and explore the emerging art practices within the field of art related to techno-sciences : biotechnological art, online creation, virtual space - physical space relationships, links between ancient myths and contemporary practives, approaches to a consciousness reframed by contemporary technologies, etc.
