In Verse Probability: A Speculative Biography of the Reverend Thomas Bayes with Andreas Mertin

Every Friday throughout September and October 2023, Andreas Mertin is in residence to conduct research for the project entitled, "In Verse Probability: A Speculative Biography of the Reverend Thomas Bayes."

A description of this project is below:

Combining the scant details of Thomas Bayes's life, the computational methods generated from his famed theorem, and the ludic spirit of 'pataphysics,' this project will create a speculative poetic biography. As such, it seeks to entwine two modes of thinking: the computational, the way of algorithms and probable likelihood, and the poetic, with its focus on the specific and excepted.
