Conceptual artist Kirsten Lavers’ drawings touch on many scientific and mathematical disciplines. These include emergence, morphogenesis, symmetry breaking, error propagation and automata. Her exhibition  ‘Admitting The Possibilities Of Error – Conceptual Drawings 2010 – 2025‘  at the Alison Richard Building runs until 29 August.

Peter Murray-Rust (Reader Emeritus in Molecular Informatics) has engaged with Kirsten to identify scientific principles. Recently they asked whether simple rules could generate similar drawings. Using AI-assisted (‘vibe’) coding, Peter and ChatGPT/CursorAI evolved a program following a set of simple rules modulated by randomness.

Kirsten and Peter will demonstrate their program ‘AtPoE’ and discuss its output in the context of her work. Booking is required.
