This ebook explores the ways that artists, from all over the 
world, working at the cutting edge of science and 
engineering, create work that addresses critical issues of 
water in culture and society. Drawing on thirty years of 
work documented in the Leonardo journal at MIT Press, the 
authors explore a wide range of topics, from art and climate 
change and pollution to artificially seeded clouds, from 
water fountains to the physics and poetics of waves, using 
all types of media (videos, performances, installations, 
sound art).

The Water is in the Air ebook is part of the ATEC Leonardo 
Initiatives in Experimental Publishing and Knowledge 
Curation at UT Dallas.
It is published in collaboration with the STUDIOLAB 
consortium, a Europe-wide initiative that merges the studio 
with the research lab, funded by the European Commission 
Seventh Framework Programme.
