'Mathematical Science is the language of the unseen relations between things', wrote Ada Lovelace, daughter of Lord Byron, mathematician and computer visionary. She had a home on Exmoor and this landscape is reimagined through science and poetics, part of a collaboration with visual poet Tilla Brading. Ada loved birds and a series of poems on birds and flight are designed like punch cards to isolate key words, creating an alternative text for a woman's life. Various aspects of the 'unseen' are explored including physiology, computing, music, the imaginary, and outer space. There is also an internet cut up and paste of 'Ada' and copious Notes.
