Ylem Newsletter - Issue Theme Index

 

YLEM, n. pronounced EYE-lum. A Greek word for the exploding mass from which the universe emerged.


Ylem is an international organization of artists, scientists, authors, curators, educators, and art enthusiasts who explore the intersection of the arts and sciences. Science and technology are driving forces in contemporary culture. Ylem members strive to bring the humanizing and unifying foces of art to this arena. Ylem members work in new art media such as computer, kineticsculpture, interactive multimedia, holograms robotics, 3-D media, film and video.

 

(also known as Ylem News, Ylem Journal, Ylem Calendar and just plain Ylem). Later issues tend to address one topic: some earlier ones are little more than calendars of events. Numbering can be highly unpredictable. Issues greyed out are not in our collection: if you have one to donate, we'd love to have it!

 

Ylem is in the process of putting back issues on line in PDF format, at http://www.ylem.org/NewSite/NewsLetter.html

This is a work in progress.
