Leonardo On-Line Leonardo On-Line (http:// mitpress.mit.edu/Leonardo/) is the free web site of the nonprofit organization Leonardo/the International Society for the Arts, Sciences and Technology . This web site contains information about all of the organization’s projects—for example, Leonardo, Leonardo Music Journal, the Leonardo Book Series, and the Leonardo Awards Program—as well as information about our special projects, calls for papers, editorial guidelines and so forth. This web site also acts as a gateway to other Leonardo web sites, including LEA, OLATS, the Leonardo Digital Reviews web site and Leonardo Music Journal’s web pages. Leonardo Electronic Almanac (LEA) LEA (http://mitpress.mit.edu/LEA/) is a monthly subscription-based web journal published by Leonardo/ISAST and the MIT Press that features material contributed by artists, scientists, educators and developers of new technological resources in the media arts.
