The Organization is recognized as a global leader in the interdisciplinary world of art, science, and technology. For over 50 years, the Organization has promoted and publicized the work of creative individuals who look beyond the barriers that separate the arts and sciences, focusing instead on the strengths that emerge from cross-fertilization among disciplines. As for now, the Organization sees heightened awareness and interest in hybridized practices, as the challenges facing society become increasingly complex. false true 516582 10500 Creative Impact LabsCreative Impact Labs are international exchanges that utilize innovative, community-driven, technology-powered art projects to address social and environmental challenges. The Leonardo Creative Impact Labs are a continuation and evolution of our strategic partner ZERO1s International Exchange program, an innovative model for cultural exchange at the intersection of art, science, and technology. In FY23, Leonardo implemented its very first Creative Impact Lab in Amman, Jordan with host partner IDare for Sustainable Development and began a second Lab in Otepoti Dunedin, Aotearoa New Zealand with host partner Tuhura Otago Museum, which continued into FY24. Each of the two exchanges was led by a U.S. lead artist and a group of 12-20 local participants. The lead artist facilitates 5-6 days of workshop activity followed by 3-5 weeks of project development towards a culminating exhibition of collaborative project prototypes.Other ProgramsLeonardo participated in several arts-science-tech festivals, exhibits and symposia, including: the Emerge Festival of Ideas (The ASU MIX Center, Mesa, AZ), CyFest satellite exhibitions (National Arts Club, NYC, NY; The ASU MIX Center, Mesa, AZ), Ars Electronica, Linz, Austria), ISEA and Espronceda (Barcelona, Spain), JRC Summer School (Summer School, Ispra, Italy). Collaborative research projects with the ASU Interplanetary Initiative looked at: (1) Space Exploration and Earth Sustainability, and (2) J.E.D.I. in Space travel. 237615 2500 CripTech IncubatorLaunched in 2021, Leonardo CripTech Incubator is an art-and-technology fellowship centered on disability innovation. Encompassing residencies, workshops, presentations, publication and education, this innovation incubator creates a platform for disabled artists to engage and remake creative technologies through the lens of accessibility. In 2023, we showcased several outcomes from 2022s incubation efforts: E.A.A.T. or Experiments in Art, Access and Technology, the culminating exhibition for the fellowship, took place from September 2023 through January 2024 at UC Irvines Beall Center for Art and Technology, with a corresponding ongoing virtual exhibition developed as a web prototype centering accessibility that we are deploying for other projects. In collaboration with Gray Area, we also ran the CripTech Metaverse Lab, an experiential research lab dedicated to creative access in immersive media; this lab resulted in a research paper, an online archive, and 3 VR commissions, all of which were showcased at the 2023 Gray Area Festival. We also worked closely with associated artists for a themed issue of Leonardo journal, Criptech and the Art of Access, which was published the following year. 22521 311988 PublicationsLeonardo/ISAST serves as a critical content provider through our Publications Program scholarly journals published by MIT Press (Leonardo), the Leonardo Book Series (MIT Press), Leonardo Electronic Almanac (MIT Press), and the Leonardo family of websites and experimental projects on evolving digital platforms. Leonardo is published six times per year. In 2023 the Book Series published Kat Mustateas VOIDOPOLIS, an augmented reality work informed by the COVID-19 pandemic, experimental literature, and a modified text generator, resulting in a work programmed to disappear and regenerate at yearly intervals. 24258 800976 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 32 0 true 7 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 13 13 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false true true false CA X X Francis Lopez 6508080843 332 Philip Drive 307 Daly City CA 94015 Diana Ayton-Shenker President & CEO 40.00 0.00 X 182527 0 36694 Marc Hebert Chair 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Gordon Knox Secr/Treas 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Raphael Arar Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Bennett Exec Com Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Alan Boldon Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Felicia Cleper-Borkovi Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Andy Cunningham Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Nina Czegledy Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Adiraj Gupta Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Xin Wei Sha Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Joel Slayton Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Timothy C Summers Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Minu Ipe Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 182527 36694 1 false true true 0 3374 330012 14164 347550 Publishing Income 512000 324988 324988 324988 13136 13136 0 1916 1916 0 0 0 0 0 0 687590 324988 15052 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 349685 349685 6186 6186 13442 13442 25661 25661 0 35 35 24180 24180 0 0 0 290529 287014 3515 8060 7740 320 9237 8307 930 9219 7832 1387 0 21103 21103 60549 60311 64 174 0 853 853 566 566 0 330 330 3183 1880 1303 Program Supplies 10962 10962 Dues and other charges 171 171 0 833951 800976 32801 174 1040431 94011 0 166728 48818 106929 110389 0 0 0 0 5883 5920 2312 1321 1321 991 36738 664433 0 0 0 5562 43421 1363592 967983 15781 30590 271500 204559 82000 82000 323683 115875 692964 433024 X 203696 283692 466932 251267 670628 534959 1363592 967983 -146361 10692 X false false false X 76876 115458 396029 700606 347550 1636519 0 0 76876 115458 396029 700606 347550 1636519 531306 1105213 2159 3076 5785 4887 13136 29043 0 2040 1732 2836 5206 1916 13730 1679292 1421447 0.65810 0.57040 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 2312 1321 991 991 Operating Lease Liability 37286 Refundable advances 78589 115875 X X X false false false false false false false false false Diana Ayton-Shenker President & CEO 182527 13031 23663 219221 Part II, Compensation from Unrelated Organizations In 2019, Leonardo/ISAST began a partnership with Arizona State University, the ASU-Leonardo Initiative.
