Professor William Latham's Inaugural — February 3, 2009

Computer art, games and business — A chronological history of
William Latham's work.

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009; 17h30, Ian Gulland Lecture Theater,
Goldsmiths College.

Lecture summary:

William Latham will chart the course of his work from its roots in
traditional Fine Art, through his early hand drawn evolutionary drawing
through to his work as a Research Fellow at IBM UK Scientific Centre in
Winchester from 1987 to 1993. It is there he developed his pioneering
Mutator computer art style, and he will expand on its worldwide exposure
at the SIGGRAPH conference and touring exhibitions around the world.

He will then cover his commercial work; founding a software development
studio and its projects in the music and computer games industry over
a 13 year period with Universal Studios, SONY, Virgin and Nokia and
later due diligence work for banks and investors. He will then talk
about his work since joining Goldsmiths, University of London, and
restarting the Mutator 2 Project there which had been dormant for
13 years. He will also discuss the new Mutator 2 genetics project with
the Centre for Bioinformatics at Imperial College and the broadening
scope of Mutator 2 moving into 3D Design and architecture. Though the
talk is chronological it will cover a mixture of art, creative,
technical, research, management and business threads and William will
aim to share some of the sharper personal insights from the journey
so far, and the importance of collaborative work.
