2005 is the 9th year for this monthly lecture series that brings together artists, scientists, scholars, curators, students, faculty, and the public to discuss contemporary issues at the intersection of digital media, emerging technologies, and aesthetic expression, and how these issues impact our culture. Berkeley's location in a center for technology and design, combined with its history of diverse views and intellectual inquiry, provides an ideal venue for this program.

    Through its email list, web pages, and posters, Berkeley's ATC Colloquium has established an international reputation. Since its founding in 1997, the series has presented 84 speakers, including David Byrne, Billy Kluver, Charles Ray, Gary Hill, Woody Vasulka, Martin Jay, David Ross, Steve Dietz, and Julia Scher. All ATC events are open to the public and free of charge, with attendance ranging from 70-500. Speakers range from jazz trombonist George Lewis, who spoke about computer music and how improvisational jazz relates to the concept of noise in outer space to artist Eduardo Kac, who presented highly controversial projects that use living animals to provoke fundamental questions about genetic engineering.

    The series Director is Ken Goldberg, who works with ATC Associate Director, Greg Niemeyer, and ATC Executive Assistant Irene Chien, to curate the series with the ATC Advisory Board.

    Current sponsors include: Berkeley's Center for New Media, Office of the Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost, College of Engineering Interdisciplinary Studies Program, Center for Information Technology in the Interest of Society, Consortium for the Arts, BAM/PFA, and the Townsend Center for the Humanities.
