Visit at Goldsmiths College, London

Professor William Latham is an authority in the area of evolutionary graphics, with his groundbreaking work on organic shapes and graphical mutation. He just recently had accepted a post at Goldsmiths College after being a Professor here at Leeds Met, and I (Reinhold Behringer) wanted to catch up with him and discuss joint projects. So I took a southbound train to London and spent an afternoon with him and his colleagues discussing artistic and technological issues and possible collaborations. Especially of interest is the area of morphing between video and audio / music: how can the aestethical principles of the visual domain be translated into the aestethical rules of the acoustic domain and vice versa?
