Review by Sheila Pinkel, Emerita Professor of Art, Pomona College, International Editor of Leonardo, spinkel4@gmail.com
Dr. James L. Carter, geoscientist, and associate professor emeritus at the University of Texas at Dallas, passed away on September 21, 2019, in his home at the age of 82. Dr. Carter was one of the leading geologists on the Apollo mission to the Moon, and played a role in training the Apollo crews in the field of geology. His work led to numerous achievements, including the collection of Genesis Rock, the largest lunar sample at the time. He was later recruited by NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, to pioneer the creation of a simulated prototype for a lunar sample known as JSC-1.
As a result of more than 50 years of publishing work on the cutting edge, Leonardo has become the leading international peer-reviewed journal on the use of contemporary science and technology in the arts and music and, increasingly, the application and influence of the arts, design and humanities on science and technology.
In November 2019 Leonardo artists participated in a day of events and evening of performances and talks related to the afterlife of data and artificial intelligence. This was hosted by SwissnexSF and coproduced by Kintech Arts.
