About the journal

Leonardo is the leading international peer-reviewed journal on the use of contemporary science and technology in the arts and music and the application and influence of the arts and humanities on science and technology.

Leonardo is interested in work that crosses the artificial boundaries separating contemporary arts and sciences. Featuring illustrated articles written by artists about their own work as well as articles by historians, theoreticians, philosophers, and other researchers, the journal is particularly concerned with issues related to the interaction of the arts, sciences, and technology.

four covers of Leonardo journal - the upper left is a multicolor spray against a black background, the upper right shows an artistic rendering of a human-heart fashioned from a textured red and white drawing; the lower left is a spikey yellow-brown-red shape on a white background that looks vaguely sunflowery, but sharp; and the lower right is an close up of a face with the mouth wide open and full of foaming white liquid.

About the books

Starting in 1993 with the publication of The Visual Mind edited by Michele Emmer and Leonardo Almanac edited by Craig Harris, the partnership between Leonardo and the MIT Press has made leading-edge works at the intersection of arts, sciences, and technology available to readers. Series edited by Sean Cubitt and Roger F. Malina and supported by Assistant Acquisitions Editor, Gabriela Bueno Gibbs.
