The Computer Arts Society (CAS) was established in the UK in 1968 by George Mallen, Alan Sutcliffe and John Lansdown and pioneered the development of computer arts in the UK and worldwide. CAS was founded to encourage the creative use of computers and to allow the exchange of information in this area. It was recognized that this was an area where there had been increasing activity, but with little formal publication of methods and results and little communication between artists in different fields (music, visual, performing arts, for example). It is a community of interest for all those involved in doing, managing, interpreting and understanding information technology’s cultural potential. CAS is a Specialist Group of the ‘British Computer Society’ (BCS) – The Chartered Institute for IT. The society holds joint events with other BCS Specialist Groups and other professional groups and associations.

1968年，乔治·马伦（George Mallen），艾伦·苏特克利夫（Alan Sutcliffe）和约翰·兰斯当（John Lansdown）在英国成立了计算机艺术学会（CAS），并在英国和全球范围内引领了计算机艺术的发展。CAS的成立是为了鼓励创造性地使用计算机，并允许该领域的信息交换。人们认识到，这是一个活动不断增加的领域，但是很少正式发表方法和成果，并且不同领域的艺术家（例如音乐，视觉，表演艺术）之间的交流也很少。对于参与，管理，解释和理解信息技术的文化潜力的所有人员来说，这是一个感兴趣的社区。CAS是“英国计算机协会”（BCS）的一个特殊团体-特许IT协会。
