A team from the University of Tokyo will present the work of Cyberforest, a unique trans-disciplinary research programme which has been streaming and archiving live sounds, video and other data from the University of Tokyo Forests since 1995. London-based artist collective SoundCamp will curate two panels bringing together artists, academics and naturalists to place this pioneering work in the context of related practices in the UK and beyond. This sharing of ideas and experiences will be the basis for further exchanges and collaborations.

Metasis – Goldsmiths 2016 MA/MFA Computational Arts degree show – London, 8-11 September 2016

Metasis is Goldsmiths 2016 MA/MFA Computational Arts degree show. It is the result of a year of intense study, equally focused on technical and critical aspects of computational arts. The works on show illustrate the versatility of computational applications when introduced to fine art. They demonstrate interactive, generative and procedural techniques, ranging from critiquing the autonomy of the system to the role of the artist.

Queens of Tech: Susan Stepney – Can slime mould compute? – London, 23 June 2016

If you have a PC, tablet, or smartphone, you have used a computer. But some people use billard balls, beams of light, sticks of wood, chemicals, bacteria, slime moulds, spaghetti, even black holes, as computers (although some of these only in theory). How can these things be computers? What can we do? Can they do things your smartphone can’t? And why are these people using such peculiar things to compute with, anyway?
