LEONARDO "LOVELY WEATHER" CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: ART & CLIMATE
Leonardo Art & Climate project:
http://www.olats.org/fcm/artclimat/artclimat_eng.php
The Leonardo Lovely Weather Art and Climate Project and Leonardo
Publications are inviting papers, special issue proposals and book
proposals that deal with artistic approaches to weather, climate and
their modifications.
As a result of massive urbanization and the development of the modern
lifestyle, it has been possible to observe a deterioration of
sensitivity to meteorology and climate. The existence of weather and
climate is similar to that of landscape which does not exist in nature
without the mind to perceive it as such. The perception of weather and
climate, as well as that of landscape is the perception of an
arrangement, a configuration of the real. Weather and climate are thus
multidimensional phenomenons that include the combined contributions of
nature, culture, history and geography, but also the imaginary and the
symbolic. Art could help us to question our perceptions and
relationships to weather, climate and their changes.
Leonardo seeks to document the works of artists, researchers, and
scholars involved in the exploration of weather and climate, and is
soliciting texts for Leonardo, Leonardo Transactions, special issue
proposals for the Leonardo Electronic Almanac and book proposals for the
Leonardo Book Series.
Sub-themes:
The following sub-themes have been defined (not restrictive):
- Environments: weather and climate works enabling new experiences of
