CAS Open Evening
Sean Clark et al.
Summary
At the CAS Open Evening, Sean Clark and fellow committee members introduce themselves and outline the society’s recent and future activities. Paul Brown, joining from Australia, describes his forthcoming 56-year retrospective at the BCS foyer; Stephen Bell discusses his early computer-art work and interest in behavioural animation and education; and Graeme mentions his role co-chairing the EVA London conference and his research into long-term preservation of digital photographs. Sean Clark then presents the refreshed CAS website and explains the society’s affiliation with BCS, which provides London exhibition space. He highlights Ernest Edmonds’s current show at BCS Moorgate, plans to tour it to Leicester, and a signed limited-edition print sale to raise archive funds. He previews a packed exhibition programme: Jeff Davis’s Micro Arts, Paul Brown’s retrospective, a members’ show during EVA London, a Sue Gollifer retrospective, a women-in-digital-art exhibition, Adrian’s Quantel Paintbox work, Leicester digital-art pioneers, and new generative work, with larger shows possible as resources grow. The aim is to build a national or international network of venues so shows can tour, invite members to host exhibitions, encourage wider participation in computer art, and capture CAS history from 2004 to the present through archival and related digital preservation projects.
