Hello Bletchley

Hello Bletchley Hello Bletchley is a public artwork for Bletchley town centre, commissioned by MKCC.

Created by artist Nick Ryan, it will be an interactive and dynamic sculpture shaped by local unheard voices, real-time data and Alan Turing’s visionary thinking.

Remembering Alan Turing. 🕊️

As the anniversary of his death on June 7 approaches, we look back at how his marvellous life started.

Home is where the heart is and in the case of this Milton Keynes resident, no-one exemplifies that more than our parents.

Thanks so much for sharing your stories with us, we’re excited to bring A1 back to Bletchley this June.

Home might be a place, but it’s also the people… We’ve loved hearing your answers on this subject.

The more we learn about Bletchley, the more fascinated we become. The Blue Lagoon, for example, used to be a brick works clay pits. These were flooded in 1947 to create a beautiful the Nature Reserve which still exists today, home to badgers, bats, snakes (not the scary kind), newts, birds and butterflies.

Sounds like the perfect spot to hang out this summer!

What is life for if it’s not shared with the people we love? This conversation with a local Bletchley resident is something we can all relate to. Wishing her and her partner all the happiness!

Each story shared with A1 creates a layer of the artwork we’re making for Bletchley town centre. We can’t wait to see it take shape.

A1 is an intelligent machine with a lovely voice, who knows a lot about Bletchley and computer scientist, Alan Turing.

Hear it share a lesser known fact about the man who inspired the project and his time working at ….

Here’s a glimpse into one of the special conversations a local resident shared with A1, our intelligent field recorder.

Each conversation is anonymous and between just A1 and the participant, but in this case the artist was invited to join and document a few!

Listen as we chat about planes and poems with this wonderful Bletchley resident!

Life can be a challenge, can’t it?

We wanted your sculpture to represent real life with all its ups and downs - so this question gets right to the heart of things!

Thanks to everyone who’s chatted with A1 and shared such honest answers so far 💞

We had such a fantastic time meeting everyone at last week. Thank you to our wonderful hosts!

It was an honour to create in the same place where our inspiration, Alan Turing, once worked - a real full-circle moment for the team.

Every conversation you have with A1 is becomes a permanent part of our sculpture, and we can’t wait to watch it take shape.
