Drawing Algorithms

An algorithm, drawn by a 27-year-old female fashion designer in Switzerland.

Then I would ask you to draw second, at the bottom, how you imagine an algorithm or how it could work, how you visualize it. You can just go ahead and explain what you're doing. So... Mhm [thoughtful noise] I am imagining an algorithm... I think it works with zeros and ones and I imagine it like these tree diagrams that are always split up like this and then there is always 'Yes/No' 'Yes/No' so there is for example 'Yes' or zero-one (01). Then there is zero-one (01), zero-one (01) and then it goes on and on and then... I have no clue. And where did you first hear about an algorithm? In what context do you think? Yeah, my boyfriend is unfortunately, he knows about programming and he tries to teach me a little bit but I have no clue, because I... My brain tends to shut off. Okay, so in relation to the computer and your boyfriend? Yes, exactly. And he has some kind of IT affinity? Yeah, he does. Okay, great. Did that work out for you? That's all.
