Dear Paul,
William Latham suggested that I contacted you to ask whether
you could email the message below to the computer arts
society mailing list. If you could, that would be wonderful.
This is the first such venture for Imperial, and we're keen
that the event is well attended. William mentioned that you
might be in London the week of the exhibition - it would be
great if you could attend.
Thanks very much,
Simon Colton

Computer Generated Artworks Exhibition
======================================
http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~sgc/events/CGArtworks06
Tanaka Business School, Imperial College, Exhibition Road, London SW7
25th - 29th September 2006
Launch evening: 25th September, from 6pm to 9pm
Please email [log in to unmask] for tickets.
There will short talks, interactive demonstrations, videos
and liquid refreshments!
This exhibition will feature work from six artists who use
computers in diverse ways to generate their artworks. Their
techniques include the following:
- Generative art
The modelling of evolutionary processes generates complex,
organic and beautiful shapes and images.
- Computers as an artistic medium
Computational techniques open up exciting new opportunities for
multi-media art generation, and the combination of computer
generated art with traditional mediums.
- Simulation of the artistic process
Simulating artistic and creative processes enables computers
to generate human-like artworks.
The exhibitors are:
