Popis: Turing, like queerness, was invested in creating logics and codes, which are undoubtedly intertwined with his desires as a human, scientist, and homosexual. We are interested in Turing as a striking figure in queer and feminist histories, as the hidden queer figure behind the Apple logo and as a creator of logic and worlds (Halberstam in Fem Stud 17(3):439–460, 1991). In this paper, we first want to briefly highlight how Turing has been cast in queer and feminist histories and theories. Then, we will discuss how Turing’s work and life have influenced our own artistic practices.
