The Computer Arts Society Organizes INTERACT: MACHINE: MAN: SOCIETY

INTERACT: MACHINE: MAN: SOCIETY was an “eventibition” that took place over five days at Edinburgh University. It included papers, a conference and an exhibition of creative computer graphics, generative dance/choreography, cybernetics and poetry. The “eventibition” featured artists such as Manfred Mohr, CAYC, Alan Sutcliffe, Manuel Barbadillo and Greta Monach. The Computer Arts Society (CAS), founded in 1968 by Alan Sutcliffe, George Mallen and John Lansdown, has aimed to explore the role of digital and electronic media in the arts for decades. After a hiatus from 1985 to 2004, CAS experienced a renaissance, preserving computer-generated art history and becoming part of the Victoria and Albert Museum’s collections. In 2024, CAS actively promotes digital media through events, exhibitions, and the annual Electronic Visualisation & the Arts (EVA) conference.
