Leonardo is a peer-reviewed academic journal published by The MIT Press. Founded in 1967 in Paris by kinetic artist and astronautical pioneer Frank Malina, Leonardo has become the leading international journal on the influence of science and contemporary technology on art and music, and also on how art and discoveries in the humanities change science and technology. Leonardo articles are actively indexed and hold third place on Google Scholar among texts on visual art (data for 2020).
The special issue of the journal was prepared by curators of CYLAND MediaArtLab and Leonardo/The International Society for the Arts, Sciences and Technology (Leonardo/ISAST). 12 authors contributed to the journal, including Russian and foreign artists, curators, art critics, collectors, biologists, astrophysicists, specialists on the history of the Russian avant garde, independent researchers and lecturers from the world’s leading universities. The theme of the issue is “Cosmos and Chaos”. The publication is part of CYFEST-13, which also has the theme of cosmos and chaos this year.
