THE SAME BUT DIFFERENT
The Turing Pattern is named after Alan Turing who
developed a mathematical system to illustrate
“Morphogenesis,” which describes among other things
how animals such as zebras develop stripes. It is an
example of how a simple binary system allows complex
patterns to develop “the same but different.” In this
piece, Jacob Yerex has employed curved lines to make
the Turing Pattern on one side of the brain and sharp
Sponsored by: corners on the other – the same on both sides but
different. He sees this as a reference to how our brains
develop very differently but are essentially the same.
