On Wednesday, 19 January 2011, I will give a general audience talk about Alan Turing at Malmö Konsthall, a contemporary art museum.

• Current programme at Malmö Konsthall, including talk venue and time

The occasion is a current exhibition of Henrik Olesen, one of Denmark’s most important contemporary artists according to the programme.

My presentation is based on a talk I gave in the Fall 2010 Teknik- och Naturvetarcirkeln for Folkuniversitetet, but for the art museum I tone down the technical aspects and instead build the talk around a presentation of verious artworks featuring Turing, including:

• Some Illustrations to the life of Alan Turing, 2008, 16 computer printouts on newsprint. This piece is part of the exhibition in Malmö.
• Alan Turing memorial at Manchester, whose themes resonate well with Olesen’s
• Stephen Kettle’s Alan Turing at Bletchley Park.
• John M. Mill’s statue in Surrey.
• Eduardo Paolozzi’s series Turing Collection, see also Andrew Hodges’s comments.

There is more, including theatre plays, stamps, and scientific and political awards.

See you there!
