*Public News Network by Jack Stenner*
A computer-based artwork giving viewers "the power to
interrogate corporate broadcast media." Using a 3-D
navigable space, with Internet-transmitted objects
representing news broadcasts, to synthesize ideas from
multiple disciplines the work encourages the audience to
question their preconceived understanding, providing the
"opportunity for a new
understanding via chance juxtapositions and a re-
sampling of existing content."


*Toward the Glass Bead Game by Joshua Fost*
A realization of writer Herman Hesse's "Glass Bead
Game.” The piece associates small images with ideas in
ordinary prose developing a new vocabulary of glyphs,
which are later "assembled in special ways, such that
their spatial arrangement asserts symbolic relationships
between the corresponding ideas."

*Escuela Rural Andina de Cajamarca by Sabine Vess*
Seeking to activate the talents of rural Peru's artisans

Filmmaker/theorist Coral Houtman reviews Peter L.
Rudnytsky's “Reading Psycho-Analysis: Freud, Rank,

What is LEA?
----------------------
For over a decade, Leonardo Electronic Almanac (LEA)
has thrived as an international peer-reviewed electronic
journal and web archive, covering the interaction of the
arts, sciences and technology. LEA emphasizes rapid
publication of recent work and critical discussion on
topics of current excitement. Many contributors are
younger scholars and artists, and there is a slant towards
shorter, less academic texts.
