Latest Petition about Alan Turing

There are two new petitions concerning Alan Turing: one to get his face on the £10 note, one to erect a plinth in Trafalgar Square.

“The latest petition to honour the memory of Alan Turing – the man who invented the modern computer and cracked the Enigma Machine in WWII – calls for his face to be featured on the reverse of the next £10 note.”

Video Technology and Queer Performance.

Ben Walters writes about the documentary This Is Not A Dream, which explores how changing video technology has given voice to queer performers.

“Ever since video arrived at the end of the ’70s, a strain of queer and alternative artists and performers has been interested in using the camera – the dominant disseminator of mainstream culture – for subversive ends.”
