Talk: Book Launch Evening at EVA

Catherine Mason has been recovering the history of computer and digital art since 2002 when she joined an AHRC research group at Birkbeck, University of London. Her first book A Computer in the Art Room: the Origins of British Computer Arts 1950-1980 (JJG: 2008 & ebook 2021), is the first comprehensive account of the history of British computer art. Over a long career she has worked in commercial galleries and public-sector arts organisations, adult education and exhibition curation. Today her main focus is research and writing; her latest book Creative Simulations (Springer 2024), tells the story of the early history of CAS, through George Mallen, one of the founders. She is a Visiting Research and Knowledge Exchange Fellow in the School of Computing at Goldsmiths, University of London.
