The John Lansdown Award 2006

The John Lansdown Award was first presented at Eurographics 2000, in memory of John Lansdown who died in February 1999. John was an inspirational leader who encouraged innovation in others by his own creative works. John’s career spanned architecture, computer graphics, computer mediated art and multimedia production. His series of articles for the ‘BCS Computer Bulletin’ from 1975 to 1992 (now available electronically from the John Lansdown Archives) reflected the changing role of computers in art over this period – from the first series entitled “Almost Computing, Not Quite Art” to the last “Not only computing” also art.
