Re: Leonardo/ISAST collaboration with ISEA 2006 San Jose, California, USA

We are pleased to inform the Leonardo network of our involvement in the ISEA
2006 conference. As explained in the attached press release, the city of San
Jose has been selected by ISEA to host the 2006 conference. Steve Dietz will
serve as the Symposium Director.

Leonardo/ISAST, under the leadership of ISAST Advisory Board chair Beverly
Reiser, will collaborate with the 2006 ISEA Symposium in a number of areas
including:

a) Facilitating of the Pacific Rim New Media Centers summit in connection
with the Leonardo Global Crossings (Cultural Roots of Globalization)
project.

b) Publications dedicated to documenting the work of emerging artists and of
new media programs internationally. The publications will be produced as
part of the Leonardo Experimental Publishing Project under the direction of
Pamela Grant Ryan.

Leonardo/ISAST welcomes involvement and suggestions from the members of the
Leonardo network.

Leonardo/The International Society for the Arts, Sciences, and Technology
(ISAST) serves the international arts community by promoting and documenting
