Ada's Algorithm I & II
Ada's Algorithm I
& II consists of two transformed ceramic busts of Ada Lovelace
(1815-1852).
Lovelace wrote the first published
algorithm at a time when the machine to process the algorithm
did not yet exist. The algorithm Lovelace created was for
calculating Bernoulli numbers.
The 3D portraits are digitally modeled
and subsequently transformed by Lovelace's algorithm. In other
words, Ada Lovelace has been subjected to her own algorithm.
The works refer to the fact that we
are heading into a future where biology and software meet.
Digital 3D modeling and printing.
