A digital humanities lecture by Willard McCarty, Professor of Humanities Computing, King's College London.
In this talk Professor McCarty will begin with a brief discussion of modelling then sketch the history of simulation from its origins in the physical and social sciences to its current re-enactments of life in ancient Sumer, Aboriginal Australia and 17th century English sermonizing. His point will be this: that the history of how our machine has been used shows us both where we stand and where we might go.
Cost: Free, but RSVP required via the webpage.
