“The same but different”

Jacob Yerex


Brain #: 360

The Turing Pattern is named after Alan Turing who developed a mathematical system to illustrate “Morphogenesis,” which describes among other things how animals such as zebras develop stripes. It is an example of how a simple binary system allows complex patterns to develop “the same but different.” In this piece, Jacob Yerex has employed curved lines to make the Turing Pattern on one side of the brain and sharp corners on the other – the same on both sides but different. He sees this as a reference to how our brains develop very differently but are essentially the same.
