CAS TALK: Alex May

Wed 11 Mar, 6.30pm
The first in a new series of talks for anyone interested in the history and future of art and technology, beginning with renowned digital artist Alex May

Alex May creates installations and live performances internationally at high profile venues such as Tate Modern, the V&A, Bletchley Park, and MOMA Caracas, using software he has developed. In 2012 he publicly released his ‘Painting With Light’ software designed to democratise access to the technologies required for artists to perform real-time video mapping, and 2015 sees the release of ‘Fugio’ a new digital art platform designed with education and long term preservation at its core.

In his talk, Alex will introduce his art practice, the software he has created, and the aims and challenges behind their development.

The Computer Arts Society (CAS) promotes the creative uses of computers in the arts and culture. This event is part of the Phoenix Interact Labs programme.
