Ideas Before Their Time - Connecting the past and present in Computer Art
CAT Project Symposium

Our symposium on Wednesday 3rd February 2010 is at the British Computer Society in Covent Garden, in conjunction with the Computer Arts Society.

Many intriguing concepts have emerged in Computer Art over the past 50 years. Some have been brought to light in the archives examined by the CAT and CACHe Projects. Speakers from all areas of Computer Art, including practitioners, curators and historians, will discuss the past, present and future of this area.
