[spectre] LEA Special Issue Calls for Papers

[Lanfranco Aceti]

The Leonardo Electronic Almanac (LEA) has the following calls for
papers for upcoming special issues:


SPEED, DROMOLOGY AND INVISIBILITY - January 31, 2012 abstract deadline

Are we moving from the futurist’s speed through contemporary dromology
to the disappearance of the human body?
What are the future trajectories of a continuous process of acceleration?
Is the disappearance of the body through artificial speed a process of
invisibility or that of a visibility through acceleration?

NOT HERE NOT THERE - January 31, 2012 abstract deadline

This LEA special issue follows two previous exhibitions, one at Kasa
Gallery titled NOT THERE and one at the Samek Art Gallery titled NOT
HERE.
This call for papers arises out of the territory between two cultural
streams. Artists that work with AR technology and curators and writers
that work on issues related to AR,
sited art in relation to new media, or site-specific interventions are
particularly welcome to submit proposals for consideration.

of the Watermans’ International Festival of Digital Art, 2012
