Becoming Slime/ Quantum Feeling, online performative lecture

In this performative lecture, artist and quantum physicist Libby Heaney takes quantum mechanics out of the laboratory and into the field of art, where its logics of entanglement, indeterminacy, and multiplicity become aesthetic and political tools. Departing from some of her recent works employing quantum technologies, Heaney reflects on how these can generate modes of perception that resist linear representation and techno-solutionist narratives alike. Rather than envisioning quantum art as a futurist spectacle, she proposes it as a critical practice to trouble the extractive imaginary of computation and to sketch other ecologies of relation across time, species, and matter.
