JBB’s DRP for 5/9/23: Great Minds: Ada Lovelace
Description
Over a hundred years before the “computer age,” a young woman wrote what would later become recognized as a computer algorithm or computer program. Lovelace recognized the potential of having devices that were designed to do math also synthesize art. What kinds of art do you view on your devices or create on your devices?

It’s hard for me to imagine the mind of someone who was so prescient when it came to the coming of electronic computers. Intelligence can be thought of properly observing circumstances and situations and projecting multiple outcomes, whereas Lovelace went so far beyond projection into actual application of these insights. That level of understanding is beyond remarkable. But then to see that she believed that these future machines would do more than mathematics and impact the arts is so far beyond simple genius.
