The first issue of the new Leonardo Electronic Almanac is out on Amazon since January 2012. I did the identity and the editorial design of the journal, and recently got hold of some copies and documented it here. (The typographical cover art “MISH MASH” was done by Emre Parlak.)

LEA is the electronic arm of the pioneer art journal, Leonardo – Journal of Art, Science & Technology. It is itself a peer reviewed electronic journal dedicated to providing a forum for those who are interested in the realm where art, science and technology converge. The new LEA, with Editor-in-Chief Lanfranco Aceti, is a collaborative effort between The MIT Press; Leonardo/ISAST; Goldsmiths, University of London; FACT; and Sabancı University. In addition to the electronic format on its website, it is now available as print on Amazon.

ISType (Istanbul Type Seminars), conceived and organized by Onur Yazıcıgil (Sabancı University) and Alessandro Segalini (Izmir University of Economics), is a lecture and workshop series devoted to encouraging typographic literacy in Turkey. The upcoming ISType 2012 will be held between June 15–18 under the theme Transmit and will host international guests including Ellen Lupton and Gerard Unger as well as Turkish designers/academicians such as Esen Karol and Ömer Durmaz. I and Emre will also be speaking as Fevkalade.

P.S. Emre made this amazing opening title for the seminars, don’t miss it.

 

I had worked with scientists Cleva Ow Yang and Ayşe Turak on creating better visual communication of their research in the second Image of Science workshop in July 2011 but have been holding off sharing the outputs, waiting for them to publish their research. This is their manuscript in Nano Letters (one of the highest ranked journals in materials science), including more visuals that we produced together, and below is a piece that I’m quite proud of.

The 17. International Symposium on Electronic Art, ISEA2011 Istanbul, has begun, with hundreds of artists and academicians from all over the world and my design work all over Istanbul. There’s a lot to document (the program booklet, flyers for the biennial press package, tote bags, signage, artwork captions, badges, etc.) but I’m not going to be able to do it decently before next month*, so I’ll just put a few teasers here.

The main exhibition Uncontainable is at the Taksim Square Cumhuriyet Art Gallery (right next to the red banner above), be sure to drop by. You can get detailed information about all the exhibitions, events, performances, paper sessions, panels and workshops at the website. You can follow the tweets about ISEA2011 here, and this is the Facebook group of the event.

I’d really appreciate if you send me any photos you took showing ISEA2011 visuals/objects in some way, from around İstanbul. This is especially a call to any friends of mine reading this.

I recently put the outputs of Image of Science 2010 on my website, and I’m happy to announce that the second workshop is happening between July 11–15 in Sabancı University, this time open to outside participation. Image of Science seeks to bring researchers and designers together in order to depict complex research methodologies and findings. This is the formal announcement:

Sabanci University’s interest in supporting research output has been one of the primary initiatives of Image of Science, which will now run its second season July 11–15 on campus.  Image of Science is a university wide collaboration organized by visiting faculty Gokhan Ersan (School of the Art Institute of Chicago), Melih Papila (FENS), VAVCD teaching assistants, and Nancy Karabeyoglu (SUWC).

Image of Science seeks to familiarize researchers with design tools that can comprehensively depict complex research methodologies and findings.

This year’s week long program of workshops and design tutorials focuses on creating interactive slide shows and presentations of completed or ongoing research. Two days of workshops on implementing design strategies open the program; three days of design work to produce interactive slide shows/presentation of selected submissions follow. All are welcome.

If you have a visual image of a particular ongoing/completed research project and/or would like to learn more of design’s ability to serve as a powerful information source, please consider attending either the workshops or design production; both are free.

The links below are the formal invitation to Image of Science.
