Computer Art & Technocultures was a major three-year project supported by the Arts and Humanities Research Council to study the history of computer-generated art. The project was based jointly at Birkbeck and the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A), and was completed in August 2010.

The V&A display Digital Pioneers ran from December 2009 until April 2010. The project also had a symposium, Ideas Before Their Time, at the British Computer Society, and a two-day conference, Decoding the Digital, at the V&A on 4th-5th February 2010.

"Compellingly simple and made with rudimentary technology, much of the work in Digital Pioneers is astonishingly beautiful and seems both brave and prescient" - New York Times
