Code: Preludes
Inspired by the beauty of logic and math and the programmers who operate on the boundary between our messy human lives and the pristine world of symbols and equations that power modern technology, this ambitious project was the first of several forays into theatrical exploration of mathematics, continuing on later with The Turing Machine and Broken Codes. Drawing from the experiences of real-life programmers and the life of Alan Turing, this sensory, interactive performance unites theater and software to cultivate and rekindle a sense of awe for the power of mathematics and highlight the individuals who encode our humanity into modern technology.
