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 false 185832 CripTech IncubatorCripTech Incubator is an art-and-technology program centered on disability innovation. Encompassing labs, residencies, workshops, presentations, publications and education, this innovation incubator creates a platform for disabled artists to engage and remake creative technologies through the lens of accessibility. Employing a broad understanding of technologies, including prosthetic tools, neural networks, software, and the built environment, CripTech Incubator reimagines enshrined notions of how a body-mind can move, look, and communicate. In 2024, the program showcased exhibition and publication outcomes for the fellowship, and initiated development and recruitment of participants for Touch Aesthetics, a partnership with Arizona State Universitys Program in Narrative and Emerging Media centered on haptics and immersive storytelling, as well as the CripTech AI Lab, a virtual creative incubator dedicated to disability and artificial intelligence. 89715 322912 PublicationsThe Organization serves as a critical content provider through our print and digital publications, which include the scholarly journal Leonardo as well as the Leonardo Book Series all published by The MIT Press.

The labs encourage mutual understanding and cross-border collaboration between creative communities around the globe. Creative Impact Labs are led by a U.S.-based artist and co-produced with a local cultural organization in the overseas exchange location. During the exchange, a selected U.S. lead artist facilitates a workshop series introducing creative practices in emerging media. Local participants then apply the skills theyve learned in the creation of project prototypes that address the chosen social or environmental challenge. 19224 Residencies and Fellowship CollaborationsThe Organization partners with a variety of organizations to implement art science residencies, such as the Leonardo at Djerassi residency and Seize the Moment at ASU.
