LEONARDO ART AND CLIMATE PROJECT
LEONARDO ART AND CLIMATE PROJECT CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
The Leonardo Lovely Weather Art and Climate Project and Leonardo Publications are inviting papers 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 phenomena 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.
