BIOGRAPHIES
Ted Hayes is a poet-inventor: conceiving objects and experiences that explore the sublime and the enigmatic through recombination and deconstruction. He is a proponent of what he has dubbed “Research Art,” or art-as-science experiment, and actively investigates the themes, technologies and ramifications of autonomy, emergence, semiotics, pattern recognition, and neural networks. Ted’s works range from a group of language-inventing robots to a mythological city-founding ritual for soprano and string quartet, is a graduate of NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program. His operating principle is, in a word, poetry: to pique with enigma and confound with beauty.

The Future of Cyberspace
A lecture by Sue Thomas, Professor of New Media
Wednesday 30 November 2011
You are warmly invited to join us for a lecture by Sue Thomas, Professor of New Media at De Montfort University. The lecture is part of the university’s Professorial Lecture Series for 2011, showcasing and celebrating the academic activities of the university’s professors.
The lecture on Wednesday 30 November will start at 6pm and takes place in our Hugh Aston Building. Tea and coffee will be served before the lecture and a drinks reception will follow the lecture.
Parking will be available at our visitor car park and directions can be found at http://www.dmu.ac.uk/aboutdmu/campuses/maps/leic_campus.jsp
This lecture will explore the evolution of the landscape of cyberspace from its creation as an unpopulated wilderness through its exploration, colonisation, cultivation, settlement and growth, and offers some predictions for the future of this most exotic place.
Sue Thomas is Professor of New Media at the Institute of Creative Technologies in the Faculty of Art, Design and Humanities. She has written several books including the novel ‘Correspondence’, short-listed for the 1992 Arthur C Clarke Award for Best Science Fiction Novel, and most recently the 2004 non-fiction cyberspace travelogue ‘Hello World: travels in virtuality’. She has written about computers and the internet since the 1980s and is now working on ‘Nature and Cyberspace: Stories, Memes and Metaphors’, a study of the relationships between cyberspace and the natural world, forthcoming with Bloomsbury Academic. She co-directs the influential Transliteracy Research Group and the DMU Transdisciplinary Group, and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.
