I’ve been privilege to sit on the Leonardo Editorial Board for a number of years and am continually fascinated by the range and diversity of topics covered in this impressive journal. Leonardo began international publication in 1968, and continues to focus on writings by artists who work with technology-based art media. Most of the artists use scientific tools, and the journal serves art and science communities by promoting work at the intersection of the arts, sciences, and technology. This issue is devoted to the art of Burning Man and includes articles and photos edited by Burning Man documentary writer Louis Brill and art curator LadyBee.
