A film by William Latham and IBM UKSC
Music Mark Ayres

William Latham was a figure that dominated computer art and animation in the UK through his use of 'evolutionary' algorithms. Working at this time in partnership with an IBM scientific research centre, Latham aimed at remodelling the entire creative process, 'mutating' the most startling yet controlled virtual sculptures that had so far been seen.

From 1987 to 1994 William Latham worked for IBM in their Advanced Computer Graphics and Visualisation Division at IBM Hursley near Winchester, and his Mutation work achieved world wide recognition at SIGGRAPH and other events and a number of IBM patents were published. He was co-author with Stephen Todd of the book Evolutionary Art and Computers published by Academic Press which is still recognised as a key work in this area.

William was CEO of computer games developer Computer Artworks Ltd from 1994 to 2003, hit games produced included The THING (Playstation2, Xbox and PC) which sold in excess of one million units world-wide, and was Number 1 hit in the UK and Germany.

From 2005 to 2006, William Latham was Professor of Creative Technology at Leeds Metropolitan University and a Research Fellow of Goldsmiths College, University of London. In 2007, William became full Professor of Computing at Goldsmiths. He continues to remain CEO of Games Audit.
