Jack Kilby: The Eye of Genius Photographs by the Inventor of the Microchip

Start date: Saturday, July 12, 2008
Event is ongoing: Until Sunday, September 21, 2008

A quiet, unassuming man, Jack Kilby (1923-2005) had a creative bent that stretched from invention of the integrated circuit (IC) to production of photographs of great artistic beauty. The Eye of Genius will highlight the Nobel Prize-winning inventor's documents and museum objects as well as his accomplished photographs from the Jack Kilby and the Texas Instruments historical archives at SMU. The Eye of Genius has been curated by Dr. Anne Peterson, DeGolyer Library's curator of photographs. This exhibition has been organized by the Meadows Museum in collaboration with the DeGolyer Library and will be installed in the downstairs galleries.
