She was Assistant Director of the ICA in London, 1963-71, and Director of the Whitechapel Art Gallery, 1974-76. She taught at the Architectural Association, as well as other colleges and has written several books. She is interested in art that encroaches on other fields: science, music, and literature, and has spent many years following up the connections between art and technology. Among her exhibitions staged in Britain, the best known is <i>Cybernetic Serendipity</i> (1968) about the computer and the arts - <a href="https://youtu.be/5mH9DysESqo" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114);">https://youtu.be/5mH9DysESqo</a>. Later, she worked for ARTEC in Japan, and her other exhibitions involving technology included: <i>Electronically Yours</i>, 1998, Tokyo, and <i>Nearly Human</i>, 2015, Gdańsk. <o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm -2.6pt 0cm 0cm; font-size: medium; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> <o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm -2.6pt 0cm 0cm; font-size: medium; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><b>Bronaċ Ferran </b>is a writer and curator; see <a href="https://cloudmemory.com/" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114);">https://cloudmemory.com</a><o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm -2.6pt 0cm 0cm; font-size: medium; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm -2.6pt 0cm 0cm; font-size: medium; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">The event will be recorded and uploaded to the CAS YouTube Channel.<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm -2.6pt 0cm 0cm; font-size: medium; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> <o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm -2.6pt 0cm 0cm; font-size: medium; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="background: yellow;">This event is open to the public and is free but you should book your place for both in-person and Zoom.
