This Symposium has its origins at a computer music concert sponsored
by the Philadelphia Area Computer Society and held in 1978 as part of
the Personal Computing '78 Show in Philadelphia. The success of that
concert prompted its organizers to continue the effort at subsequent
shows. Talks about computer music and then graphics were added over
the next two years to round out the concert. In 1981, it was decided
to hold an entire meeting based on computers in the arts and the
Symposium on Small Computers in the Arts was born. The evening computer
music concerts are still a part of each year's event.
To more effectively run the Symposium and other activities, the Small
Computers in the Arts Network, Inc. (SCAN) was formed in 1985 as a
non-profit, educational corporation which recently received its tax
exempt status. As a non-profit group, SCAN is better able to serve
artists, educators and other interested persons. SCAN's activities include
producing this Symposium in cooperation with the University of the Arts,
publishing our newsletter, and keeping a database of artists
and persons working in the field. The newsletter keeps communications
flowing during the year that stretches between meetings. Please feel
welcome to contribute (see below).
