place, is housed in a 14th century building, remodeled to fit the needs of
modern research in singular surroundings.

ideas between practitioners in art, science and technology. Through
publications, initiatives and public forums, Leonardo/ISAST facilitates
cross-disciplinary research in these fields, seeking to catalyze fruitful
solutions for the challenges of the 21st century. Among the challenges
requiring cross-disciplinary approaches are establishing sustainable
environmental practices, spreading global scientific and artistic literacy,
creating technological equity, and encouraging freedom of thought and
imagination. By enhancing communication between scientists, artists, and
engineers, Leonardo supports experimental projects and interacts with
established institutions of art and science to transform their research and
educational practices.
=>LEAF - The Leonardo Education and Art Forum promotes the advancement of
artistic research and academic scholarship at the intersections of art,
science, and technology. Serving practitioners, scholars, and students who are
