Join us for our next Tuesday Talk, Non-binary States: Quantum Superposition in Digital Art, featuring Libby Heaney in conversation with Paul Luckraft (Senior Curator at Zabludowicz Collection). The talk will explore the use of quantum computing in digital art, specifically focusing on the pluralities of non-binary states in quantum computing and how these translate back to the digital. Delving into Libby Heaney’s current solo exhibition Ent-er the Garden of Forking Paths at our Project Space which premiered Ent- (Many Paths Version) (2022) in the UK. Exploring the concepts of quantum superposition and entanglement and their meaning and applications in digital art, the discussion will also cover the future of quantum computing in art, including speculation around a future quantum game engine. As the first artist to use quantum computing as a functioning artistic medium, Libby Heaney is leading a timely contemplation on the near-future of lived experience. Prompting thought on determinism, Ent-er the Garden of Forking Paths hinges on the notion of quantum superposition, or “the ability for one thing to be in two or more possibilities at the same time”

This noteworthy panel discussion features Pita Arreola, Curator of Digital Art at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, Sougwen Chung an artist considered a pioneer in the field of human-machine collaboration (GAZELL.iO February Resident), Recycle Group, an artist duo renowned for their innovative sculptures that blend physical and digital elements (coinciding with their current show Sapient at Gazelli Art House), and Matteo Zamagni, a prolific artist working in the virtual and augmented reality space (coinciding with his current show Refracted Bodies at Gazelli Art House). The panel will be moderated by Luba Elliott, a curator, writer and researcher specialising in artificial intelligence in art. The panellists will discuss their experiences with incorporating digital art, AI, VR, and XR into their practice and creative processes, and the unique possibilities and challenges that these technologies present.
