This is the first of a series of posts I’m going to be posting! I want to make people more aware of the women who pioneered in academics who we never hear of, and make these women’s names more common in the science narrative. This woman is Ada Lovelace. She is known as the mother of computer programming, as she came up with an algorithm tailored to machines long before the first computer was even invented. If you have some time on your hands, google her. ~a
Check out @eleanora_magazine’s January 2019 issue: ADA LOVELACE. My sister-in-law @eleanoramorrison created and directed the visual story of Ada Lovelace, the mathematician who invented the algorithm in the 1800s, which ultimately led to the digital age! Read all about her at the link in my bio. #eleanoramagazine #adalovelace #womenintech
The Big Reveal! Meet my daughter Ada - the reason why I haven't posted many paintings lately, and a work of #art (and #magic) that casts all my other art and music in a new light, as rehearsal for the biggest, most important act of #love and creativity my life can hold. She was just born in Santa Fe this Saturday, March 23rd, 11:20 am - mama @nicoletaylor.strings and I could not be happier to be new parents to this lovely #baby girl!
I started working full-time in October in communications at @sfiscience, doing social media for the prestigious #complexsystems #science institute - driving back and forth from #SantaFe and #Austin every couple weeks, transitioning from our community in Austin to this new adventure - so we'd have the healthcare and support of an incredibly cool job, ensuring her soft landing in this world. And SFI, and Santa Fe in general, have both exceeded expectations. Nikki and I miss our friends in Austin but our new home in New Mexico is every bit as magical as could be hoped for this sweet kid.
Her namesake, #AdaLovelace, was a mathematician and inventor who designed a steam-powered flying horse at age twelve and wrote the first algorithm for a digital computer back in the 19th Century - famously writing in a correspondence with Charles Babbage how, if these machines can process numbers, they would also one day process music and geometry - so she is the patron saint of #electronicart, one of the baddest legendary women of the modern era.
I've always emphasized the question of how we can "be good ancestors" on @futurefossilspodcast, which has been my main creative outlet outside SFI while I've been on a near-sabbatical from painting due to lack of time...but now, with Ada here, all of those conversations take on practical importance. We move out of theory, into practice as I learn to be a father to a one-day-woman in an age of high technology and rapid change - an honor that a #futurist and evolutionary thinker can't refuse. While I will try my best to not just gush new baby photos into the devouring maw of social media in all its sketchy capitalist nonsense, I'm excited to explore the #parenting adventure with you!
So, so #grateful...
Quando pensamos na história evolutiva da #tecnologia, é comum pensarmos primeiramente em nomes como #Steve Jobs, Bill #Gates, e Mark Zuckerberg.
A verdade é que há muitas mulheres que impactaram a tecnologia nesse meio do caminho, pavimentando o que viriam a ser essas grandes #revoluções – ou lançando essas grandes revoluções. Confira cinco personalidades que impactaram a tecnologia de forma decisiva:
Ada Lovelace and Z3 from SSF 2099. It’s a reference to one of my favorite paintings ever, The Kiss by Gustav Klimt
