I just spent three days at EVA London held at the British Computer Society in Covent Garden. The conference was jointly hosted by Computer Arts Society.

Among the speakers Julie Tolmie, Steve DiPaola, and Kia Ng were among my favorites with their incredible research into teaching methods for string instruments, visualizing mathematical theory, and Vision Science analysed through Rembrandt paintings. Rebecca Gamble also gave an interesting presentation on the use of new technologies for participatory art, and Yvonne Desmond spoke about the importance to archive the artistic process and the development of the ArtLog at the Tyrone Guthrie Centre.
I took part in the Research Workshop on the first day of the conference where I presented elements of my research to a fellow community of PhD students. It’s relaxed setting led to a important exchange and the creation of a new network. I am looking forward to next year already!
