:: Latest and last fAf

The current issue of fAf, now live, will be the last produced by the 
present Australian team of Paul Brown, Linda Carroli and Nisar Keshvani. 
Due to a number of setbacks and obstacles, the magazine has ceased its 
operations at QUT, Brisbane, Queensland. Without an appropriate level of 
resourcing fAf could not continue in its current form, context or locale. 
Rather than close down the publication after 17 years of consistent 
publishing in the field of arts, science and technology, the Art Science 
and Technology Network has issued a call for expressions of interest from 
organisations that are interested in publishing fAf.

:: Call to the Community: Proposals for Continuation of fineArt forum

As has been announced in this issue of fAf this is the last issue being 
produced by the Australian team. fineArt forum was set up by Ray Lauzzana 
in 1988 and has been operated by a number of organisations since then as a 
community resource under the umbrella of the "Art, Science, Technology 
Network" (ASTN) presided by Annick Bureaud.

Organisations who may be interested in exploring ways to take on publishing 
of fineArt forum may contact Roger Malina at leo at mitpress.mit.edu 
indicating their possible interest.

The ASTN takes this opportunity to thank Paul Brown, Linda Carroli, Nisar 
Keshvani and the whole Australian team for their many years of work 
sustaining fAf as an invaluable community resource.

All back issues of fAf will be archived on the Leonardo Electronic Almanac 
website and will continue to be available. Other opportunities for 
archiving are also being sought.

The art/science/technology landscape has changed dramatically over the past 
15 years. It is likely that fAf needs to mutate to respond to real 
community needs today. We look forward to working with interested 
organisations in developing an new evolutionary niche for fAf.
