A family of algorithmic pen plotted drawings, each presented with the binary text for a Universal Turing Machine (UTM), were created for an exhibition in Manchester on the occasion of the Ninth International Symposium on Electronic Art (1998). These drawings, reminiscent of medieval manuscript illuminations, celebrate Alan Turing's work with universal problem solver procedures. They were created especially for the Manchester-Liverpool context as homage to Alan Turing in memory of his historic work in Manchester. Executed on hot pressed Arches, each piece includes a burnished gold leaf enhancement. The following links to the Verostko site provide further information on the commitment and depth to the Alan Turing UTM by Roman Verostko Essay on the UTM in 1998 that addresses parallels between the nature of "undecidable" propositions, UTM's, and the "Cloud of Unknowing" The Manchester 1998 show The 1995 SIGGRAPH art show in LA Illumininated UTM's were shown at the Tempe show Web presentation of a UTM as a self portrait of the computer with which it is viewed
