This collaborative edition produced by ISEA2012 and Media-N explores the symposiumÕs thesis via its seven tracks: 1-Wildlife: Trans-Species Habitats, 2ÐThe Cosmos: Radical Cosmologies, 3ÐCreative Economies: Econotopias, 4ÐPower: Gridlocked, 5ÐTransportation: Dynamobilities, 6ÐLatin American Forum, 7ÐEducation Program, 8ÐArtistsÕ Talks and other papers. Through this specially devised format, we are presenting essays by invited ISEA2012 authors as well as a number of selected, peer-reviewed papers submitted to us as a result of a specific call to ISEA2012 symposium participants. The edition serves as a reader on ISEA2012Õs achievement in drawing attention to prominent environmental problems, and to the possible solutions explored by artists, scholars, and technologists in a diverse range of communities today.
