Book excerpt: George Widener developed a passion for calendars, numbers and numerology, historical data, population statistics, and mathematical calculations early on. In his clearly structured drawings he combines actual historical events with his own computations, analyzing both world affairs and his own biography, and developing specific codes for super-intelligent computers of the future. Influenced by the theories of Ray Kurzweil, a leading scientist in the field of artificial intelligence, Widener is convinced that in 2045 high-performance computers will fuse with the human brain and transform consciousness into software. For George Widener numbers and data are not only intellectually reflected patterns but part of his inner struc-ture, the fundamental system of his perception of the world. Widener is a savant with Asperger syndrome, someone with an extraordinary insular ingenuity that was diagnosed rather late in life. 0Exhibition: Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin, Germany (25.01.-16.06.2013).
