Frank Malina founded the journal Leonardo in an effort to get exposure for this new form of media, which he referred to as Berkeley said. The new integration of technology and art is more representative of human expression than traditional art forms, he said. Malina first came in contact with this mixture of science and technology growing up in Paris where he lived in a household without a television but "full of lightboxes". His father, Frank Malina, a former director of the Jet Propulsion Labs, had moved to Paris and began experimenting with using technology to create art, starting BY DARIN TINNEY Chronicle News Writer Old art forms and old science are being replaced by a mixture of the two created by today's technology, an astronomer and editor said Wednesday at the University of Utah. art "When I go to a museum today I feel like I'm in a mausoleum," Associate Research Astronomer Roger Malina from so-call- ed the University of California, Smoking in BY CAMILLA MOORE Chronicle News Writer Smoking sections in Utah restaurants may be banned in the future because of the harmful effects of secondhand smoke on children. fast-foo- d Utah Attorney General Jan Graham recently released a pre- liminary report which recommended that fast-foo- d restaurants "scientific Malina became executive editor of the journal upon the death of his father.
