Abstract
This panel will deal with art, media and science via the concept
of the ‘spin’ as a fundamental in quantum research where flux
and vibration are at the very core. The historical model of
media art, science and technology must now include the
potential of the quantum phenomena through the emergence of
the quantum computer. The subatomic world tantalises us with
startling phenomena, but lies deep beneath the surface of
human experience, forever hidden from direct observation.
Data captured through complex physics experiments reveal
quantum behaviours, but unlike scientific meanings constructed
to objectively explain such phenomena, the panel will explore
the interactions between the subatomic and human realms. In
the words of contemporary physicist Anton Zeilinger, this data
from quantum experiments exists in a state of “primary reality”
more fundamental than the meanings scientists construct to
explain it [1]. The panel will reflect how media art will have to
deal with significant change based on the discoveries being
made in controlling atoms at the core of new machines,
including the quantum computer. The panel’s intuitive and
insightful presentations will demonstrate how we as humans
comprehend and understand the world at the deepest level and
by doing so bring it into existence.
