We are contacting you to invite you to join the Leonardo Education
Forum (LEF), a working group of Leonardo/the International Society for
the Arts, Sciences and Technology and an affiliated society of the
College Art Association (CAA). Founded in 2004 by Leonardo Executive
Editor Roger Malina at the invitation of past CAA President Ellen Levy,
LEF promotes the advancement of artistic research and academic
scholarship at the intersection of art, science, and technology.
While active throughout the year, our major annual event takes place at
the College Art Association Annual Conference each February. Highlights

include:
· Mentoring Session: Thinking vs. Making (Chair: Gabriel Harp)

· Art and Design and Bitforms Gallery. Curated by Celina Jeffery and
Gregory

· LEF Sponsored Session: Ecology and Ethics of Art | Science Projects
(Chair: Victoria Vesna)
· Career Development Workshops
Members of Leonardo Education Forum benefit from being part of an
interdisciplinary group of artists, scientists, and technologists with
an extensive network of resources and opportunities for academic and
professional growth. As an emerging organization, there is great
potential for members to shape the group to serve its constituents and
to help build a stronger community that bridges art, art history,
science, and technology with a focus on professional practice and
pedagogy. More information about LEF's activities, events and
discussions can be found at: http://fm.hunter.cuny.edu/lef/. To
facilitate communication and access to resources, we also maintain a
monitored listserv that offers digest and non-receiving options, see
http://webexhibits.org/about/lef.html.
LEF members also benefit from the many opportunities and resources
available to them as members of Leonardo/ISAST including a 20% discount
on their subscription to Leonardo, the flagship journal of
Leonardo/ISAST which has been documenting work made at the intersection
of art, science and technology for almost 40 years. To join LEF and to
