INSPIRATION:
ADA LOVELACE
First computer programmer & wrote the first algorithm.
Let me tell you the incredible story of Ada Lovelace, the inspiration behind this art. Lovelace was a trailblazing mathematician and writer who lived in the 19th century, and she is widely regarded as the first computer programmer.
Yes, you heard that right! Lovelace wrote the first algorithm, a set of instructions for a machine to carry out a specific task.
Lovelace’s work went beyond just programming, though. She saw the potential for machines to do more than just calculate numbers, and she envisioned computers as a tool for creative expression. Her visionary ideas about computing and art laid the groundwork for the development of modern digital art.
What’s even more impressive is that Lovelace accomplished all of this at a time when women were not typically allowed to pursue careers in mathematics and science. She defied societal norms and broke through barriers to pave the way for future generations of women to pursue their passions and careers in STEM fields.
So, every time I create a piece of art inspired by Ada Lovelace, I am reminded of her remarkable legacy and the importance of empowering women to break through boundaries and challenge the status quo.
As Lovelace herself once said, “That brain of mine is something more than merely mortal; as time will show.” Let’s show the world what we’re made of and continue to blaze new trails in art and technology. #WomenInSTEM #EmpoweredWomenEmpowerWomen
