Hi Armin

On the Leonardo/Olats web site (http://www.olats.org), we have published
the following, it is free access :

- All the proceedings of the Space and the Arts Workshops (at least the
texts sent by their authors), in English
- The proceedings of the Lisibility-Visibility of Space Art, Art and
Zero G., in French and English
- The proceedings of the Artmedia VIII conf "From Aesthetics of
Communication to Net art", all texts in French, some in translation in
English
- 2 "books" : one on multimedia art, one on digital literature, in French
- Several texts in the Etudes et Essais section, among which the
"historical" texts from the 80's by Edmond Couchot, in French
- the whole "Pioneers & pathbreakers" project, in French (except one or
2 texts)

and much more ....

I would be happy to have one text submitted by you to this (some)thing
done by Leonardo. Note, however, that even if the access to those
publications are for free online, we still have some committee reviews
before accepting them. Look if some of the topics we are addressing are
of interest to you, and if not, we have the Etudes & Essais section
where we publish without specific topics. Note also, that on Olats we
priviledge things in French or bilingual, but it would be interesting to
have a proposal by you in French, translating is also dissemination....
However ... we don't have money to pay for the translations ... But may
be there is some translation/translators systems where you can have it
translated for free. I don't know about it (would love it by the way
....translations are real costs and an obstacle to publishing and
dissemination of knowledge).

Best
Annick
