The signature and aesthetics of artists who write their own source code manifest themselves both in the code itself and in its visual results.'
Christianne Paul, Digital Art (2003)

Creative Software is a one-day event featuring workshops, artist talks, an exhibition of selected works and an evening panel discussion involving leading practitioners, academics and curators in the field. The programme will investigate the relationship between art and technology and explore the history, context and approaches of artists who write their own software and/or author their own code to produce creative outputs.

Panellists and presenters include:
Ed Burton, Research & Development Director, Soda; Tom Corby, researcher/artist, reconnoitre.net; Charlie Gere, Director of Research, Institute for Cultural Research, Lancaster University; Tom Holley, Creative Director, The Media Centre, Huddersfield; Alex McClean, programmer/musician/artist, state51/Slub/toplap; Hannah Redler, Head of Arts Programme, Science Museum; Andrew Shoben, artist, Greyworld; Alexei Shulgin, artist/curator, runme.org; Stanza, artist/curator, Soundtoys.net.

A full programme of activities and contributors for the day will be listed at the Cybersalon Website

The Creative Software event is part of a process of public dialogue, as a precursor to developing a Creative Software Forum. It's an open call to artists, academics, the public, curators and practitioners to express their interest and to contribute to the discussion. Please contact Lewis Sykes, Cybersalon Coordinator lewis@cybersalon.org if you are interested in contributing to Creative Software.
