Description

This simple drawing of the features of the writer and cyberneticist Oswald Wiener was made by Benedikt Ledebur during one of Wiener‘s lectures on cognitive science. In his introduction to the universal Turing Machine (published by Springer), the concept at the core of all computers, Wiener construes a Turing Machine in front of the reader‘s eye, which in the end is able to write the program, which brings it into an existence, which is based, like the one of NFTs, solely on the binary code, that it can read or interpret. Wiener, dedicated to insight by selfobservation, had no respect for, what he called “flat formalisms”, which happily regenerate the surface of procedures without any understanding of them.
