Call for Papers

Nanotechnology, Nanoscale Science and Art

Leonardo Special Section Guest Editors: Tom Rockwell and Tami I. Spector

Over the last decade, “nano” has become the buzzword signifying everything from imagined atomic-scale robotic utopias to small electronics. For scientists the shift toward nano has also become ubiquitous; what used to be referred to as “molecular” has been reframed as “nano,” 27 journals devoted to nanotech/ nanoscience are now published, and the National Science Foundation and other granting agencies have devoted a significant amount of funding toward nanotech/nanoscience. Among engineers, scientists and science-studies scholars, discussions of the potential of nanotech/nanoscience abound, including confer- ences that debate the pros and cons of a nano-hegemony and attempt to debunk some of the hype. Artists, however, have only begun to explore this emergent scientific field, leaving it wide open for creative inter- pretation. With this special section of Leonardo we hope to ignite artists’ interest in the exploration of nano- tech/nanoscience and encourage scientists, scholars and educators to contemplate the implications of an art-nanotech/nanoscience connection.

Leonardo, in collaboration with the Exploratorium under the auspices of the Nanotech Informal Science Education Network, will publish a series of special sections periodically over the next 5 years exploring the intersections of nanotech/nanoscience and art. We are especially seeking submissions of artworks (visual, performance, sound, etc.) with artists’ statements explaining the relationship of the work to nanotech/ nanoscience; essays from scientists, engineers and scholars exploring the connection between nanotech/ nanoscience and art; and essays and visuals aiming at nanotech/nanoscience education that uses the arts as a pedagogical tool. Articles published to date as part of this special project include:

Tami I. Spector, “Introduction: Nanotechnology, Nanoscale Science and Art,” Leonardo 41, No. 4. Filipe Rocha da Silva, “Nanoscale and Painting,” Leonardo 41, No. 4. Boo Chapple with William Wong, “Can You Hear the Femur Play? Bone Audio Speakers at the Nanoscale,” Leonardo 41, No. 4. Jane Bearinger, “Chaos Control on the Nanoscale,” Leonardo 41, No. 4. Interested artists and authors are invited to send proposals, queries and/or manuscripts to the Leonardo editorial office: Leonardo, 211 Sutter St., Ste. 501, San Francisco, CA 94108, U.S.A.

This project is supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. ESI-0532536.
