notes

1. Leonardo/ISAST is a professional organization that seeks to document and promote the work of
artists whose work involves contemporary science and technology, and to stimulate collaboration
among artists, scientists, and engineers. The Leonardo publications can be accessed at http://www.leonardo.info. These publications include the Leonardo journal, Leonardo Music Journal, the Leonardo
Book Series, and the electronic publications LEA and Leonardo On Line.

2. See, for example, the New Media Dictionary project, at http://www.comm.uqam.ca/GRAM/
Accueil.html. A number of researchers have been documenting the rapid mutation of terminology.
No good comprehensive cross-linguistic thesauruses exist.

3. See http://portal.unesco.org/digiarts. The UNESCO DIGIARTS program supports a number of
regional initiatives, as well as work in schools, through the young digital creators program.
