The CAS50 year officially began on Wednesday 23rd May 2018 with the opening of the CAS50 Exhibition in Leicester.

Attendees of the launch were treated to an evening of talks by many of the artists involved in the exhibition, together with introductions by CAS co-founder George Mallen and current chair Nick Lambert.

As well as marking the start of the CAS50 year, the exhibition also announced the CAS50 Collection project. This aims to use the interest in CAS50 to help build a curated collection of high-quality computer artworks that we hope will become an important resource for people interested in computer art.

Pictures from the opening can be found here and panoramic images here. A video of the talks is available on our YouTube Channel.
