To Leonardo Organisational Members and Advisors From: Leonardo Space Arts Working Group. New Cultural Initiative tied to the Indian Chandrayaan 1 and 2 space missions to the Moon Leonardo is working on a collaboration with the Srishti Art and Design School in Bangalore, the National Institute of Advanced Study in Bangalore, and Arts Catalyst of London, UK. It is a proposal for a cultural 'vehicle' containing an exhibition, a publication and public artworks on India's Moon mission in 2008, Chandrayaan 1. 'Moon Vehicle' will be a method of transmitting the cultural and philosophical meanings of the moon in India's culture and will initiate a dialogue about the public perception of space exploration in an Indian context. They have set up a discussion group set up called the Bangalore Space and Culture Working Group set up on Leonardo Education Forum http://artsci.ucla.edu/LEF/node/127 We are using this for general news and info related to the moon and culture. You need to register to LEF and then sign up for the group and if you want to get email sign up for that option If you are interested in being involved, or already have a project related to the moon please post information on the web site. -- -- Roger Malina Is in USA 510 853 2007 ------ End of Forwarded Message Prof Sean Cubitt [EMAIL PROTECTED] Director Media and Communications Program Faculty of Arts Room 127 John Medley East The University of Melbourne Parkville VIC 3010 Australia Tel: + 61 3 8344 3667 Fax:+ 61 3 8344 5494 M: 0448 304 004 Skype: seancubitt http://www.culture-communication.unimelb.edu.au/media-communications/ http://homepage.mac.com/waikatoscreen/seanc/ http://seancubitt.blogspot.com/ http://del.icio.us/seancubitt Editor-in-Chief Leonardo Book Series http://leonardo.info _______________________________________________ Ada_list mailing list [email protected] http://aotearoadigitalarts.org.nz/
