> :: Latest and last fAf
>
> The current issue of fAf, now live, will be the last produced by the
> present Australian team of Paul Brown, Linda Carroli and Nisar
> Keshvani. Due to a number of setbacks and obstacles, the magazine has
> ceased its operations at QUT, Brisbane, Queensland. Without an
> appropriate level of resourcing fAf could not continue in its current
> form, context or locale. Rather than close down the publication after
> 17 years of consistent publishing in the field of arts, science and
> technology, the Art Science and Technology Network has issued a call
> for expressions of interest from organisations that are interested in
> publishing fAf.
>
> :: Call to the Community: Proposals for Continuation of fineArt forum
>
> As has been announced in this issue of fAf this is the last issue
> being produced by the Australian team. fineArt forum was set up by Ray
> Lauzzana in 1988 and has been operated by a number of organisations
> since then as a community resource under the umbrella of the "Art,
> Science, Technology Network" (ASTN) presided by Annick Bureaud.
>
> Organisations who may be interested in exploring ways to take on
> publishing of fineArt forum may contact Roger Malina at
> [email protected] indicating their possible interest.
>
> The ASTN takes this opportunity to thank Paul Brown, Linda Carroli,
> Nisar Keshvani and the whole Australian team for their many years of
> work sustaining fAf as an invaluable community resource.
>
> All back issues of fAf will be archived on the Leonardo Electronic
> Almanac website and will continue to be available. Other opportunities
> for archiving are also being sought.
>
> The art/science/technology landscape has changed dramatically over the
> past 15 years. It is likely that fAf needs to mutate to respond to
> real community needs today. We look forward to working with interested
> organisations in developing an new evolutionary niche for fAf.
