The Ada Project by British sculptor Conrad Shawcross draws inspiration from robotics while also featuring four commissioned musical compositions. Shawcross’ idea for the artwork stemmed from the legacy of Victorian mathematician Ada Lovelace, widely considered the world’s earliest computer programmer. The composers then wrote their pieces as a response to the rhythm of the robot’s choreography, as programmed by Shawcross.
