Hosts: Claudia Smith and Crisse Ciro REFRESHMENTS WILL BE SERVED ******************************************************************** Computer Aided Conceptual Art Evolving Seminar Series presents SMALLTALK-52 AND THE WHEELER SEND Recently discovered documents reveal that J.M. Wheeler designed the first version of Smalltalk in 1952. It was intended to run on the University of Cambridge's EDSAC Computer. The initial implementation, however, required the entire 512-word memory and was deemed infeasible. Wheeler, who is credited with the invention of bootstrap code, subroutine calls, assemblers, linkers, loaders, and all-night hacking, can now be properly credited with inventing message passing, object oriented programming, window systems, and impractical languages. This fascinating historical discussion will be hosted by Steve Berlin and will be preceded by Lunch. Next week: Lady Lovelace's Encryption Algorithm ********************************************************************
