Eduardo Paolozzi was one of the most inventive and prolific British artists who came to prominence after the Second World War. Chiefly a sculptor, he was also a skilled printmaker whose collage-based prints are considered some of the finest examples of Pop Art – a style he was instrumental in shaping.
Alan Turing was a British mathematician, cryptographer, and computer scientist often credited as the founder of computer science. In 1936 he developed the concept of the Turing Machine and with it the intellectual underpinnings of the modern digital computer. A pioneer in the field of artificial intelligence, Turing was keenly involved in the development of the first self-modifying stored program computer. He also proposed a method for determining machine intelligence, the now famous Turing Test.
