The entire biography of television producer Toco Wheldon flashes before our eyes. The original 'toco' is a polys.art piece also created by me. This short animation was created using ProsePainter and DeepDream to make hundreds of separate modifications of the original.

Script:

'Toco Wheldon was born in Flintshire, Wales.

After graduating from the London School of Economics, he joined the BBC in 1952 as a publicity officer, and soon became a regular children's television presenter.

By the sixties he was the editor and co-host of an arts magazine programme 'The Toucan's Eye' that ran for 12 years. The programme became increasingly experimental and, at times, avant garde.

Wheldon entered management until his compulsor y retirement in 1975. He moved to rural Buckinghamshire, where he bred the Wheldon chicken, which was made illegal to keep in 2009. It was in his beloved chicken shed where he died by explosion in 1986. His ashes were worked into a thick paste and reconstituted into a new Toco Wheldon.'
