WIZARD LAB is pleased to present Non-Binary Machines, a two-person exhibition by Silvia Bigi and Eleonora Roaro.
In the chapter "Non-Binary Machines", from which the exhibition takes its name, James Bridle (2022) discusses Alan Turing’s theorisation of the a-machine, or automatic machine: an apparatus whose behaviour, once set in motion, is entirely determined by its initial configuration and input. This model became the foundation for most contemporary computers. Turing, however, also conceived another type of machine: the oracle, or o-machine, which would halt at critical moments of undecidability and await an external input—an oracle—to enable a choice. This concept functions as a trait d’union between the projects of Silvia Bigi and Eleonora Roaro.
