An evening to launch and discuss Richard Colson's new book, Fundamentals of Digital Art, which examines how digital technology is forcing a rethink of creative priorities for artists today.

A panel discussion will include: Ed Burton (the man who puts the fun and the mental into fundamental), research and development director at creative development agency Soda and creator of the Bafta-winning Sodacontructor (go to sodaplay.com to try it yourself); James Faure Walker, painter, digital artist, and writer, and research fellow at arts and science research group Sciria; Charlie Gere, author of White Heat, Cold Logic and director of research at the Institute for Cultural Research at Lancaster University.
