and Climate
LEONARDO "LOVELY WEATHER"CALL FOR PUBLICATIONS: ART &CLIMATE
Art & Climate Leonardo project: http://www.olats.org/fcm/artclimat/
artclimat_eng.php
The Leonardo Lovemy Weather Art and Climate Project and Leonardo
Publications are inviting paper, special issue 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. Weather's and climate's
existence is similar to the one of landscape which does not
exist in nature without the mind which grasps an expanse of land as
a landscape. The perception of weather and climate is the
perception of an arrangement, a configuration of the real. Weather
and climate are thus a multidimensional phenomenon in which
are combined the 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 Journal and Leonardo
Transactions, special issue proposals for the Leonardo Electronic
Almanac and book proposals for Leonardo Book Series.
Sub-themes :
Following sub-themes have been defined (not restrictive):
- Environments (weather and climate works enabling new
experiences of environments) ;

linking to these sciences) ;
- Weather and climate technologies (artworks questioning and
linking to these technologies) ;
- Social and political action : weather and climate works
which may spur new thinking for action on environments ;
- Sustainability (artworks engaged in alternative energy
resources or climate memories for example) ;

and/or political perceptions/ narratives of weather and climate
phenomena)
