We are pleased to have Dr. Laura U. Marks for a conversation on her latest work

Pixels, algorithms, and artificial life all trace back to classical Islamic art from 10th-century Iraq, 16th-century Iran, and other creative centres. This entertaining talk traces the Islamic genealogy of digital media. Followed by a conversation with artist-scholar Azadeh Emadi.
