“…Before explaining my work on the brain, I'm going back a few years to recapitulate an experience that I now see as being pivotal in bringing my separate interests in the realms of science and new media art closer together. In 2016, I indulged my fascination with Turing Patterns by producing 'Turingalila: Visual Music on the Theme of Morphogenesis' (Trickett 2016).…”

New media artists have the capability of driving forward innovation on major issues of the day. 'Exceedingly complex' systems (eg. the brain) provide examples of how the inevitable pitfalls and breakthroughs that occur in processes of discovery are of direct concern to new media artists as well as to the scientists, engineers, sociologists and technologists that may be involved. This paper reveals that, in this digital age, the creative processes of art and science are similar to the point of being virtually synonymous. It's this fact that underpins how, through the European Commission's S+T+ARTS (Science + Technology + Arts) initiative and opportunities offered by the Commission's programmes of research and innovation, new media artists can both generate and develop, in cooperation with their scientific and technological counterparts, transformational projects concerned in the exceedingly complex issue of climate change.New media art.

“…An initial fascination with Turing Patterns sparked off my interest in Alan Turing's morphogen theory which explained not only how tigers got their stripes but, also, gave the scientific explanation for the spontaneous miracle of development before birth. I celebrated this achievement in 'Turingalila' Visual Music on the Theme of Morphogenesis (Trickett 2016a). Here, I perturbed two Turing patterns to reveal processes of self-organisation reminiscent of those found in nature (see Figure 5).…”

“…Here, I perturbed two Turing patterns to reveal processes of self-organisation reminiscent of those found in nature (see Figure 5). I have performed Turingalila at a few events such as EvoMUSART in Porto, Portugal (Trickett 2016a) and Balance-Unbalance in Colombia. In the process of creating Turingalila, my researches into Turing's lesser known discoveries made me acutely aware of both his extraordinary prescience and his new-found relevance in today's world.…”

Turing (1912-1954) is widely acknowledged as a genius. As well as codebreaking during World War II and taking a pioneering role in computer hardware design and software after the War, he also wrote three important foundational papers in the fields of theoretical computer science, artificial intelligence, and mathematical biology. He has been called the father of computer science, but he also admired by mathematicians, philosophers, and perhaps more surprisingly biologists, for his wide-ranging ideas. His influence stretches from scientific to cultural and even political impact. For all these reasons, he was a true polymath. This paper considers the genius of Turing from various angles, both scientific and artistic. The four authors provide position statements on how Turing has influenced and inspired their work, together with short biographies, as a starting point for a panel session and visual music performance.
