A number of articles have been published in Leonardo and Leonardo Music Journal on topics related to the textile arts. This Special Project expands on Leonardo's archive of textile art documentation by focusing on textile artists and scientists around the world who work with smart textiles or the new textiles science and technology.

Artists and researchers interested in writing about their work involving the science and technology of smart textile and clothing arts are invited to submit a manuscript proposal.

The project is supported by The Marjorie Duckworth Malina Fund, which honors the memory of a key long-time supporter of Leonardo/ISAST. The project recognizes Marjorie's dedication to the ideals of international cooperation by emphasizing the participation of artists throughout the world. For information on making a donation to Leonardo/ISAST in memory of Marjorie Duckworth Malina, please visit our Donate page.

This project is supported by generous donations from: Kelvin Tsao, Lisa Bornstein, D.G. Birse, Roger F. Malina, Webster Cash, Karen Tsao, Alice Wood, Harry Horn, Anne Whitaker, Timothy Fox, Beverly Palmer, Thomas Mercer, Marcia Tanner, Robert Hill, Frieder Nake, Doreen Gatland, Darlene Tong, William Fawley, Loren Basch, Webster Cash, Sonia Sheridan, Jacques Mandelbrojt, David Rosenboom, Michele Emmer, George Gessert, Gertrude Reagan, Tami Spector, Lynn Hershman, Richard Wilson, Joan Truckenbrod, James D.

Scope
The editors of Leonardo invite proposals for new, curated galleries for publication in the Leonardo journal and on the Leonardo website. Galleries should showcase a number of artists working within a common theme or milieu falling under the broad rubric of art + science and/or technology.

The Leonardo Gallery is a special section published periodically in the Leonardo journal and simultaneously on the Leonardo website. The Leonardo Gallery has included "Social Fabrics: Wearable + Media + Interconnectivity" curated by Susan Ryan, "The Art of Burning Man" curated by Louis Brill and LadyBee and "Peruvian Video/Electronic/Art" curated by José Carlos-Mariátegui.

A Leonardo Gallery should include an introduction by the gallery curator and up to 7 pages of photographs or illustrations of artworks (one page per artist) with a statement written by each artist about the work. Additional illustrations may be used in the website gallery. Curators are encouraged to think of the web site gallery as a larger version of the print journal gallery.

Proposals and Inquiries
Please send a proposal (up to one page of text) with examples (up to 5 low-res .jpg or .gif files) of work by artists you intend to include in the gallery, if possible, plus a short curator’s bio to the Leonardo Editorial Office. Please include "Leonardo Gallery Proposal, (your name)" in the subject line. If your proposed gallery is chosen for publication we will contact you with more details.

Proposals will be considered on an ongoing basis.

Scope
In anticipation of Leonardo’s 50th anniversary, we are seeking papers dealing with the history of developments in the arts, sciences and technology. The aim of the project is to establish reliable, selected, online documentation about twentieth-century artists, scholars and institution builders whose works and ideas are considered seminal in the development of technological art. Since its founding in 1966, and the publication of the first issue in January 1968, Leonardo has accompanied and championed the work of the pioneers who were just beginning to use computers and other emerging technologies for artistic purposes.

We are interested in topics including the following:

• Memoirs by pioneer artists using new media (holography, computer and electronic arts, telecommunication arts, interactive arts, new materials, space arts, bio art, etc.). Texts must be written by the artist, in English, and cover an extended body of work. Length may be up to 2,500 words, 8 illustrations. Preference will be given to artists describing early work carried out prior to 1980.
• Memoirs of engineers and developers who collaborated with artists or whose engineering or computer science work in the 1960s, 1970s and/or 1980s proved to be important for developing the new art forms based on new and emerging technologies.
• Memoirs by curators who organized art-and-technology exhibitions in the 1960s, 1970s and/or 1980s
• Memoirs by pioneering collectors who were early supporters of technological artists.
• Memoirs by pioneering institution founders of organizations, university programs or centers pre-1984.

Readers of Leonardo are asked to encourage their colleagues to submit such memoirs, which will be invaluable primary documents for historians and scholars in the future.

Scope
What is the value of artistic practices, techniques, inventions, aesthetics and knowledge for the working scientist? What is the value of scientific practices, techniques, inventions, aesthetics and knowledge for the artist? When does art become science and science, art? Or are these categories useless at their boundaries and intersections?

Can an individual excel at both science and art, or is even a passing familiarity with one sufficient to influence significantly the other? Do the arts ever contribute significantly to scientific progress? Where will current scientific innovations lead the arts in the next few decades?

Leonardo publishes an ongoing special section devoted to exploring these questions. Submissions can be from artistic scientists who find their art avocation valuable; from scientist-artist collaborators who can demonstrate a scientific or artistic innovation; from scientifically literate artists who draw problems, materials, techniques or processes from the sciences; or from historians of art or science looking at past examples of such interactions.

Scope
Leonardo calls for papers documenting cross-disciplinary thinking on participatory observation and mapping of the environment, climate and biodiversity; environmental data systems and services; and environmental sustainability in a networked society.

Leonardo is soliciting texts that document the works of artists, researchers and scholars involved in the exploration of citizens as environmental data gatherers, and new approaches to environmental data systems and environmental sustainability. Themes and issues may include:

• Participatory mass observation of the environment, climate and biodiversity
• New approaches to accessing, visualizing and using environmental data
• Open data and the environment
• Citizen science and issues of participation
• Environmental sustainability in a networked society
• Ubiquitous, pervasive, locative and mobile communication technology and the environment.

In urban environments in particular we are separated from the consequences of our actions as surely as the tarmac of the road cuts us off from the earth beneath. This physical boundary encourages a phenomenological separation. Innovative approaches to participatory observation and mapping can overcome this separation, when combined with the way the Internet and digital media have enabled individuals to produce and share information globally and instantly. An ability for citizens to generate environmental data, augmented by freely available public environmental data and combined with new techniques of accessing, visualizing and using that data can help to reconnect people to the environment and contribute to the movement toward environmental sustainability.

Linked activities exploring the Environment 2.0 theme have been led by FutureEverything (Futuresonic) and Lancaster University (U.K.).
