LEA Special Issue : Geography of Pain
Worldwide Call for Submissions
LEA Special Issue cfp: Geography of Pain
Guest Editors: Tom Ettinger and Diane Gromala (pain@xxxxxxxx)
As part of Leonardo's ongoing Art and Biology project, the Leonardo
Electronic Almanac (ISSN No: 1071-4391) is seeking short texts (with
imagery and project URLs) by artists and scientists, or artist/scientist
teams, whose work addresses pain in all its forms. Projects of interest
include aesthetic works that address subjective experiences, social
conditions, and cultural constructions of pain. Projects on the art of
healing are of interest as well, especially multidisciplinary approaches
that integrate Eastern and Western traditions. We will also consider
current health science, computer science, and engineering research
relevant to these topics.
LEA encourages international artists / academics / researchers /
students to submit their proposals for consideration. We particularly
encourage authors outside North America and Europe to send proposals for
articles/gallery/artists statements.
