Quantum Curious

The emergence of quantum technologies offers to radically shape our future world and we are at the beginning of this wave. How can the arts help us understand and critically engage with quantum technologies? How can we build in ethical approaches in development rather than retroactively? And what can we learn from the current AI explosion?

If a quantum is the minimum amount of any physical entity involved in an interaction then what can quantum thinking teach us about developing symbiosis with all living organisms on our planet?

This conversation format in collaboration with BETA Festival will set the scene of where quantum is now and what a quantum future promises digging into some of the ways in which quantum will impact our world. The session will share an overview of quantum and some international examples of art currently being created about and/or using quantum.

Artists, researchers and interested citizens will have the opportunity to discuss in groups and tease out the real world impacts of quantum technologies

No prior knowledge or experience is necessary to participate in this session in fact quantum curious people are most welcome!

You are also very welcome to stick around afterwards for our panel talk with Studio Quantum artists-in-residence and moderated by Tina Lorenz, Head of at ZKM in Karlsruhe.
