So I thought this was going to turn out really splendiferously well but to be honest in the end I was a bit disappointed. Pride goes before a fall!
The bit which is a real shame is the binary panel. In the pic you can clearly see ‘Alan Turing’ from the front, but in real life the name can’t be read from the front at all, which is good, but also it’s not very clear from the side. It’s readable, but not as much as I hoped. The camera seems to bring it out better somehow.
The other thing is really an overall design problem -
Also, although I knew what size it would end up, it’s only now that it’s finished I really grok how big it is! Can’t see it fitting on the wall I intended it to go on! I’m not too happy about the proportions of it either -
I’m sure I will feel the love for this piece once I’ve got some emotional distance from it -
I’m really glad I made it though -
The binary says in ASCII
Hyperboloids of wondrous Light
Rolling for aye through Space and Time
which are the first two lines of his epitaph. I could only do two lines otherwise this infernal thing would have been even bigger!
The rest is
Harbour there Waves which somehow Might
Play out God’s holy pantomime.
* which is silly really, as ASCII was ‘invented’ after Turing’s death but as he’s the father of Computer Science and ASCII is our most prevalent code I thought… poetic license
