Fall 2023 CCAM Machine as Medium Symposium: PERFORMANCE: Work-in-Progress Presentation of I AM ALAN TURING

As part of the Fall 2023 CCAM Machine as Medium Symposium: Matter and Spirit, CCAM presents a work-in-progress presentation of I AM ALAN TURING.

The new, experimental opera is collaboratively devised by artists and artificial intelligence, inspired by the legacy of the gay pioneering computer scientist Alan Turing. Exploring the work Turing was doing at the end of his life, the opera’s musical composition is deeply influenced by his theoretical biological research on morphogenesis and phyllotaxis. It features a Turing Fibonacci sunflower harmonic progression—a musical revelation that surprisingly unveils an invariant prime chord.

With Matthew Suttor and team.
