Custard Pies and Pizza Emojis: CAS Members Exhibition 2026

Custard Pies and Pizza Emojis: CAS Members Exhibition 2026

With one week to go until the 22^nd November 2026 deadline, the CAS Members Exhibition 2026 is inviting digital artworks in as many forms as possible. The exhibition will be staged in the CAS Online Gallery, a voxel-based 3D space running in a browser where visitors can walk, fly, chat and interact with the art.

The Computer Arts Society was founded in 1968 to promote the creative use of computers in the arts. Its first show, Event One in 1969, included a light-pen demonstration and sections for architecture, dance, film, graphics, poetry, music and theatre. The 2026 Members Exhibition continues that spirit of openness: still images and films of any length are welcome, as well as 3D sculptures, architectural models, entire worlds, music, sound pieces, theatre and dance proposals. If you are unsure how to submit an idea, upload a PDF explaining what you plan to do and the judges will assess what is possible.

As well as displaying artworks, the online gallery lets visitors throw emojis, dance and perform gestures. The exhibition references John Lansdown, one of the founders of CAS, who staged a computer-composed custard pie fight for actors at Event One. There may not be custard pies in the voxel gallery, but there are plenty of emojis to throw around.

The application takes about five minutes. Upload an image or small file, provide a hyperlink to digital content, and write a few words about yourself and your art. Entry is free and open to CAS members.

Deadline: 22^nd November 2026.

Submit your entry or visit the CAS Online Gallery.
