The Darwin Summer Symposium 2007 in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, the birthplace of Charles Darwin.
A day long symposium - Friday 13 July 2007
I featured in Session Four - 4.00 to 5.30pm at the Music Hall, Shrewsbury, in conversation with Dr George Mallen a cybernetician and founder member in 1969 of the Computer Arts Society in the UK.
From the 1960s new frameworks for collaboration between the arts and sciences were established in the UK and this discussion will focus particularly on the origins of computing and digital technology in the arts.
