Turing proved that such a device is capable of solving “any mathematical problem imaginable, provided that it can also be solved by an algorithm.” The individual relays emit a delicate click when activated by a programmed interface. Like an orchestrated swarm of insects, they play a designed composition. This composition is based on an elaborate algorithm controlled by Brownian molecular motion.
The Turing project is the third work of LMS. The installation was set up in the studio and produced as a radio play by the Studio Akustische Kunst of the WDR.
LMS are Jörg Lindenmaier, Anthony Moore and Peter Simon.
