LEF@Re:live

the Histories of Media Art,
Science and Technology

We would like to invite you to final LEF session for 2009, Lef@Re:live09 supported by the Media Art History Conference Re:live 09.

We are delighted to report that the Leonardo Education Forum (LEF) continues its successful international education event-initiative and correspondingly we hope you join us at the public sessions scheduled at the forthcoming Media Art History Conference Re:live 09.

If you are interested in attending the Leonardo Education Forum workshops, which is carrying on from the excellent work done at the International Symposium of Electronic Art in Belfast and Ars Electronica towards the further development of an educational policy paper, please contact us. LEF intends to publish policy papers in the course of the next few years. Contributions by participants of LEF conferences in 2008 form the base of our introductory LEF Strategic Summary document available for comment at_http://mass.nomad.net.au/leonardo-education-forum-strategy-summary-on-media-art-education/
