Celebrating the enduring influence on art and contemporary culture of Alan Turing, the father of the computer.

2012 will be the 100th anniversary of the birth of Alan Turing, one of the greatest minds Britain has produced. From inventing the digital computer and helping to decode the German Enigma machine, to founding the science of artificial intelligence, the world today would have been a very different place without his ideas.

His work on morphogenesis (what makes organisms grow in particular shapes) and the now famous “Turing Test” for machine intelligence have captured the imagination of artists for decades.

This exhibition, which takes its name from Turing’s own writing, brings together a number of important artists from digital art pioneers to emerging contemporary artists, including Roman Verostko, Boredom Research, Patrick Tresset, Anna Dumitriu & Alex May. It will be touring around England for Alan Turing Year.
