The Computer Arts Society

Computer Arts History and Contemporary Practice

The Computer Arts Society (CAS) brings together artists, technologists, researchers, audiences and collectors to explore the creative use of computers and digital technologies. Founded in 1968, CAS connects the history of computer art with contemporary practice through talks, exhibitions, events and shared resources. We provide a forum for people of all ages and backgrounds to meet, exchange ideas and discover new work. Two initiatives bring this work together: CAS Knowledge, an AI-enhanced resource providing access to primary sources on computer art; and CAS Network, connecting organisations and individuals with a shared interest in digital art, both online and in person. Together, they support research, preserve knowledge and encourage collaboration. CAS is a specialist group of BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, and works closely with The Computer Arts Archive, a Community Interest Company, based in Leicester. We organise the annual Jasia Reichardt Lecture, host an annual CAS Members Exhibition, and run EVA London, a conference held each July.
