leon 56.4 - Sound of Ikebana: Fluid Artwork Created under Zero-G Using Parabolic Flight

Abstract
The authors, led by artist Naoko Tosa, discuss their collaboration on the video artwork Sound of Ikebana, made by applying sound vibration to fluid and shooting it with a high-speed camera. To study the fluid’s shape under zero gravity the authors experimented with generating the artwork under weightlessness achieved through parabolic flight. The authors confirmed that a new shape significantly different from the one created under normal gravity is created. A three-dimensional artwork was also generated by shooting the phenomenon from multiple viewpoints.

Scope
Title: From Artificial Intelligence to augmented wisdom: How can we co-create the future for a healthy planet?
Editorial Advisory team: Diana Ayton-Shenker, Roger Malina, Termeh Rassi, Wu Qiong, Fang Xiaofeng,   


The velocity of development in AI and its application is exponential. The health of our planet will depend on our ability to go from artificial to augmented, from intelligence to wisdom. We need to co-create solutions for the future and design for the unintended consequences of using increasingly advanced technologies.  


Leonardo, in collaboration with Zhuangshi Journal of Art and Design, invites proposals exploring these themes for publication in a special bilingual issue of Leonardo.  We welcome submissions from all disciplines and, in particular, are interested in the following questions:
What are some emergent lessons from art, science, and technology that can prepare us for what is to come?  
Looking to the future, what will make our connections human and humane?    
How do we protect against techno-determinism/utopianism, and how do we guard against resistance to change?
Can AI imagine?  
How does AI impact learning?
What does it mean to co-create with technology?


Proposals and Inquiries
Please send a title, abstract (100–250 words), and short bio (max. 200 words) in English to editor@leonardo.info with "AI Global Call [Your Title]" in the subject line by August 16, 2023.
