The Future of Art and Computing: A Post Turing Centennial Perspective

摘要

In the 60 years since Alan Turing's premature death in Manchester, his work on higher order computation - particularly that concerning human thinking and morphogenesis - has provided a meeting of the ways for scientists, social scientists and the creative arts. This Symposium seeks to bring together workers across a spectrum of disciplines, to both evaluate and promote cooperative activity in this area. The theme of the Symposium builds on that of the "Intuition and Ingenuity" exhibition, part of the Alan Turing Year celebrations, which took place at AISB 2013 in Birmingham, and the related article written by exhibition co-curator Anna Dumitriu for the AISB journal. Framed by past work within the Turing Centenary Arts and Culture subcommittee, the symposium will focus on new directions in art and technology collaboration, for example that via the major EU funded project ICT & ART Connect, which sets out to explore new boundaries bringing together artists and technologists. Collective acts of co-creation, together with an open and multidisciplinary discussion, will foster the collaboration of art and technology.
