Leaders in Software and Art was founded in 2009 to bring together the community of software and electronic artists, creative coders, data visualists, curators, collectors, digital and interactive agencies, and others who make their careers at the intersection of art and technology. They hold an exclusive monthly speakers series and cocktail party, and just had their daylong conference, LISA2012, at the Guggenheim in the fall.
