Rekindled

LEA rekindled

Posted by on

Leonardo Electronic Almanac has inherited a large archive of papers, articles and information.

This material was held in the archive as historical documentation and as part of the revamp of LEA we have decided to revisit this history and compare it with contemporary developments.

LEA rekindled 1 is the first historical comparative issue of the Leonardo Electronic Almanac on the history and contemporary developments at the intersection of art, science and technology. For this first issue of LEA rekindled, our editorial intention is to re-open a dialogue with those who participated and contributed towards building the history of contemporary art interactions with science and technology as well as with the new generations of artists, critical commentators, scientists and technology experts. You can find out more information on:

We are asking to the community at large to consider LEA rekindled not only as an academic publication outlet but also as a repository for images and documentation (photographic, audio and video). If you have images from some of the art, science and technology events of the past 20 years that you would like to contribute for publication, please do get in touch with LEA staff by sending an email to: info@leoalmanac.org with the subject ‘LEA rekindled 1’.

We look forward to the opportunity of working with you in re-contextualizing, publishing and archiving these images, artworks and documentation in stable formats.

LEA is also delighted to announce that for the rekindled issues the Senior Editorial and Curatorial team is composed of: Lanfranco Aceti, Paul Brown, Beryl Graham, Craig Harris, Errki Huhtamo, Stephen Jones, Terrence Masson, Frieder Nake, Christiane Paul and Bruce Wands.
