I started Aleph Null in 2011. I'm working on version 4.0. I wrote it to explore some of the possibilities of generative visual computer art in an online, interactive environment. It's part tool, part work of art. Some of the art I've created with it can be found at <a href="https://vispo.com/cv/ja.htm" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114);">https://vispo.com/cv/ja.htm</a>. Some of this work is purely visual; some of it is more textual. Version 4.0, which may or may not be published by the time of my talk in September, will present the software itself and some projects I've created with it recently.<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm -2.6pt 0cm 0cm; font-size: inherit; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm -2.6pt 0cm 0cm; font-size: inherit; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Jim Andrews has been publishing <a href="https://vispo.com/">https://vispo.com</a> since 1996. It's the centre of his work as a visual artist, poet, audio artist, programmer and theorist. <a href="http://vispo.com/">Vispo.com</a> houses his interactive, programmed art, primarily in JavaScript/HTML/CSS, his essays on the poetics of such art, and a guest section of like-minded fellow artists. His work is primarily known among the digital poets, but it's a synthesis of several media and arts. He has a degree in English from the U of Victoria in Canada, and studied three more years of math and computer science there. He lives in Vancouver.<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm -2.6pt 0cm 0cm; font-size: inherit;"><o:p><font face="Calibri"> </font></o:p></div><div style="text-align: left; margin: 0cm -2.6pt 0cm 0cm;"><font face="Calibri"><span>Camille Baker is a member of the CAS Committee and is an artist-performer/researcher/curator within various art forms since 1998: currently immersive experiences, participatory performance and interactive art, mobile media art, e-textiles, haptic interfaces and smart fashion, responsive interfaces and environments, and emerging media curating.
