The three-year AHRC-funded CACHe project - Computer Arts, Contexts, Histories, etc... - came to an end in September 2005. The project focused on the early computer arts, from 1960-80 and especially on activities in the United Kingdom. One outcome of this initiative was the re-formation of the Computer Arts Society.

Paul Brown will talk about the background to the project, its aims, objectives and outcomes - and

Dr. Nick Lambert will discuss and give the first public demonstration of the project's key outcome - an online searchable multimedia database of Early British Computers Arts that is based on the SSL Musims software and which will shortly be available via the Arts and Humanities Data Service.
