In this lecture 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.
William 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.
