Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Leonardo Electronic Almanac (LEA) in collaboration with Watermans and
Goldsmiths University of London in occasion of the 2012 Watermans’
International Festival of Digital Art is pleased to announce Touch and
Go, a new LEA special issue available on Amazon.

The Watermans’ International Festival of Digital Art, 2012, coincided
with the Olympics and Paralympics in London, hosting a series of
ground-breaking installations and exploring the impact of technology
in art as well as the meaning, boundaries and issues of interaction
and participation. This special edition of LEA is the result of
discussions and themes explored during the year-long seminars and
Festival at Watermans in collaboration with Goldsmiths University of
London. The themes include audience engagement, new media geographies,
digital art and illusion, gesture and art in virtual reality.

Touch and Go analyzes the role that interactivity and participation –
as well as light art and new media approaches to the public space –
play as tools that may foster engagement and shared forms of
participation.
