First Publication of Leonardo

Founded by kinetic artist and astronautical pioneer Frank Malina in Paris, the importance and relevance of Leonardo to this day cannot be overstated. It aimed “to serve as an international channel of communication among artists, with emphasis on the writings of artists who use science and developing technologies in their work.” Leonardo was published by Pergamon Press from 1968 to 1991 and has been published by the MIT Press since. It appears six times a year and continues today. For nearly 60 years it has played a an out-sized role in popularizing and promulgating insights and developments in the application of the arts on science and technology.
