HaPoC conferences aim to bring together researchers exploring the various aspects of the computer from historical or philosophical standpoint. The series aims at an interdisciplinary focus on computing, rooted in historical and philosophical viewpoints. Past editions of the conference – held in Gent (2011), Paris (2013), and Pisa (2015) – have successfully presented a variety of voices, resulting in fruitful dialogue between researchers of different backgrounds and characteristics. Celebrating the revolutionary exhibition Computer Graphic curated by Jiří Valoch in House of Arts in Brno (February 1968), HaPoC organizers emphatically extended the invitation to its fourth international conference to reflections on computers and art.
