FOR MATHEMATICIANS, COMPUTER SCIENTISTS, REASEARCHERS IN MATHEMATICAL PRACTICE AND ARTISTS

This website brings together the culmination of a year’s worth of work exploring a creative theory that began through my experience of working in the legal graffiti tunnel at Leake Street, beneath Waterloo Station in London. As an artist, that space has fed extraordinary imagery and energy into my practice since I first discovered it in 2014. This project, beginning with SFVFS (Seed / Form / Void / Form / Seed) and developing through The Wooden Idol and now The Turing Chamber,  has taken my understanding of creativity somewhere far deeper than I ever expected. I am proud to have carried it this far, while also being increasingly aware of the limits of my own knowledge and the value of other perspectives.

I am a huge advocate for collaboration and for the role it plays in offering healthy insight, useful resistance and new possibilities. In that sense, working with AI systems has been enormously fruitful. At the same time, I believe there is something distinctly human in exploration, judgement, disagreement, curiosity and discovery that cannot simply be replaced. I am therefore reaching out to anyone who finds any part of this project interesting, mathematicians, computer scientists, researchers in mathematical practice, artists, or simply people who are curious,  to get in touch. It now needs that wing-buddy dynamic: someone willing to explore alongside me, challenge assumptions, and help make sure I am not swimming too far from shore without company (easily done!)

Below is an overview PDF presenting the project in a more academic and structured form, describing where the work currently stands. I have deliberately left out a substantial amount of additional material (this has been a year in the making, and the complete trail is enormous!) simply to avoid overwhelming anyone encountering it for the first time. Nothing has been deleted, though. The mistakes, dead ends, rabbit holes, AI hallucinations, failed ideas, corrections, strange breakthroughs and genuinely profound evolutionary moments all remain intact, as does the wider sequence of how the project developed. Looking back at the earliest AI interactions, it is striking how far myself, the project and the tools themselves have travelled.

In the spirit of the theory itself, this now feels like the point at which the work needs to be released. It has reached the limit of what it can become while remaining only inside my own process. Whatever happens next, whether it grows into something significant, is challenged, redirected, dismantled, or simply appreciated as a strange and unusual piece of creative research, I am ready for it to exist beyond me.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
