A journey through previously lost or obscure material, from the first computer animation made in Britain to the appearance of computer graphics in commercial TV and film.

A journey through previously lost or obscure material, from the first computer animation made in Britain to the appearance of computer graphics in commercial TV and film. The pioneers of the medium often made their art on mainframes designed for business or scientific use, developing innovative software to achieve aesthetic effects that evoke nostalgia and awe. The event will include introductions and discussion with artists and practitioners from the time, including Stan Hayward (creator of Henrys Cat) and Malcolm LeGrice.
In partnership with School of History of Art, Film & Visual Media, Birkbeck, supported by AHRC and LCACE.
