In celebration of Leonardo/ISAST’s 50th year, and as we look forward to our next 50, we would like to acknowledge top LABS authors we are calling “emerging Leonardos.” These emerging Leonardos have received the highest rankings within the LABS authors of 2015–2017.

LABS (Leonardo Abstracts Services) is a comprehensive database of abstracts of PhD, Master's and MFA theses in the emerging intersection between art, science and technology. This database is located online at collections.pomona.edu/labs/. Persons who have received advanced degrees in arts (visual, sound, performing, text), computer sciences, the sciences and/or technology that in some way investigate artistic, philosophical, historical and/or critical intersections of art/science/technology are invited to submit an abstract of their thesis for publication consideration in this database.

We look forward with great anticipation to the future contributions by these emerging Leonardos to the Art-Sci-Tech community.
