*Translation, Transcodification, Transmission: Erika Tan's *Pidgin:
Interrupted Transmission*, by Janice Cheddie*
This month, Janice Cheddie discusses "issues of cultural translation,
digital media and notions of difference," using a work by U.K.-based
artist Erika Tan as a basis for her exploration.

*Leonardo Reviews: July 2004*
Leonardo Reviews includes a review of the Europe-Asia Contemporary
Music Festival in Kazan, Russia, by Alexandre A.Ovsyannikov; Rob Harle's
review of a special issue of *HYLE: The International Journal for the
Philosophy of Chemistry*; and Andrea Dahlberg's review of a new book on
Italian filmmaker Luchino Visconti.

Also in this issue, we feature selected abstracts from the upcoming
issue of Leonardo (Vol. 37, No. 4); an announcement and information on
Leonardo's collaboration with ISEA2004, taking place in Finland, Estonia
and the waters in-between; and the latest news on the activities of
Leonardo/ISAST.

The Leonardo Educators Initiative

The Leonardo Abstracts Service (LABS) is a listing of Masters and Ph.D.
theses in the art/science/technology field, for the benefit of scholars
and practitioners. LEA also maintains a discussion list open only to
faculty in the field. Students interested in contributing and faculty

What is LEA?
———————-
For over a decade, Leonardo Electronic Almanac (LEA) has thrived as an
international peer-reviewed electronic journal and web archive,
covering the interaction of the arts, sciences and technology. LEA
emphasizes
rapid publication of recent work and critical discussion on topics of
current excitement. Many contributors are younger scholars and artists,
and there is a slant towards shorter, less academic texts.

Contents include Leonardo Reviews, edited by Michael Punt, Leonardo
Research Abstracts of recent Ph.D. and Masters theses, curated Galleries
of current new media artwork, and special issues on topics ranging from
Artists and Scientists in times of War, to Zero Gravity
Art, to the History of New Media.
