The afternoon programme will explore the history of computing from three novel standpoints. Jonathan Bowen reflects on the life and work of Alan Turing. Martin Campbell-Kelly reconstructs a history of computing from colour depictions. There will be a Reception at 5.30pm, after which Doron Swade will give the annual Gresham-BSHM lecture, tracing the origins of the core concepts of modern computing.

The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/the-history-of-computing-in-colour
