On 7 December 2022, artists, physicists, philosophers and practitioners came together in the Goethe-Institut Irland, to shine a light on the current landscape of quantum computing and to explore the future of quantum technologies and the arts.
John Goold (School of Physics, Trinity College Dublin) and Alison Fernandes (School of Philosophy Trinity College Dublin) examined the basics of quantum computing, through the lenses of physics and philosophy.
Harun Siljak (CONNECT & School of Engineering, Trinity College Dublin) and Fehdah (Musician and Astrophysics Graduate) discussed ‘quantum uniqueness’ in the arts and explored how and why artists might develop work with this new technology.
Ann O’Dea (Silicon Republic & Future Human) spoke to Florian Carle (Yale Quantum Institute) about what kind of art is currently being made with quantum technologies around the world. Florian spoke about the artistic projects that have stemmed from Yale Quantum Institute’s artist-in-residence programme.
Artist, music-maker and engineer Dennis McNulty (CONNECT & School of Computer Science and Statistics, Trinity College Dublin) presented ZALM ANCESTORS, a series of moving image works drawing on his current research into the ways in which knowledge is represented in the context of the emerging field of the quantum internet. These short preparatory sketches are textural studies for a longer form work.
The conversations were followed by a short performance from Fehdah and a reception in the Goethe-Institut Irland.
This event was curated by Aisling Murray and the Living in a Quantum State team.
'Entangled' is presented in partnership with CONNECT and Trinity College Dublin.
