Artist and quantum physicist Libby Heaney will present the premiere of slimeQore, an immersive video montage and spoken narrative that utilises slime as a metaphor for the blurry, slippery quantum world and also the “slimy” corporations developing quantum technology through slime-like interfaces.
The artist will utilise data from IBM’s five qubit quantum computing systems to continually (re)compose the placement of the video montage across the gallery revealing the layered reality inside quantum computers and highlighting the vast multidimensionality in quantum computing. You do not need to have any prior knowledge of quantum computing, rather, through metaphor and embodied play the performance will explore the topic in a playful and accessible way.
