'Daring to Explore Quantum Creativity' was an evening of exploratory conversation and performance around the potential of quantum creativity.

Prof. Dr. Oliver Benson (Professor for Experimental Physics, HU Berlin) kicked off the evening with an introduction to quantum mechanics.

Visual artist Roman Lipski outlined his innovative work on “Quantum Blur”, a technique for manipulating images using quantum operations and engage in an interdisciplinary discussion with Prof. Dr. Tim Schröder (Head of the Integrated Quantum Photonics Group, HU Berlin).

Berlin based choreographer, dancer and visual artist Hannah Schillinger performed part of her solo “screen play”, connecting quantum with performance art and opening our eyes to new perspectives and principles of quantum physics.

How can art help us understand quantum technologies? Studio Quantum artist-in-residence Amy Karle (United States) shared valuable insights into their practice and how their multidisciplinary research and work is developing.

To conclude the evening, Prof. Dr. Gesche Joost (Head of the UdK Design Research Lab, founding member of the Einstein Center Digital Future and Vice President of the Goethe-Institut) commented on the potential for quantum technologies and interdisciplinary creativity.

This event was part of the virtual colloquium “Exploring Quantum Through Art and Design” by Universität der Künste Berlin (UdK) and the Goethe-Institut’s global project Studio Quantum. This live edition of the online colloquium as part of Berlin Science Week was organised in collaboration with Roman Lipski Studio.
