Within the century for the reason that invention of quantum physics, the sphere has made an indelible mark on the best way we view the world. From the exponential development of Schrödinger’s cat in 1935 to Microsoft’s newly found state of matter in 2025 alone, it’s protected to say that the ahead path towards uncharted quantum territory leaves a plume of questions relating to the way forward for humanity.
At Kraftwerk Berlin, Turner Prize-winning artist Laure Prouvost explores the complexity of quantum phenomena in a brand new exhibition, WE FELT A STAR DYING, housed inside 37,600 sq. ft of the previous energy station. Born out of two years of analysis with a quantum pc, Prouvost interprets cosmic questions, theories and frameworks right into a multi-sensory audiovisual surroundings, accomplished with scents and sculptural parts tuned to quantum cues.
Working alongside thinker Tobias Rees and scientist Hartmut Neven, the French artist merges a playful perspective with the counterintuitive logic of quantum physics to strategy a brand new line of inquiry: “How may we sense actuality from a quantum perspective?” In different phrases, what does it imply to exist in an entanglement of area and states?
“If issues have been both pure or technical; both alive or non-living; both human or machine; both being or factor, the fantastic thing about quantum processes is that they’re discontinuous with these binaries,” Rees wrote. “Quantum releases us from how we understood the world. To me, the importance of Laure Prouvost’s work is that it identifies and embraces the poetic energy of this launch – and makes it experiential.”
Commissioned by the LAS Artwork Basis, the present marks the launch of Sensing Quantum, a program that encourages collaboration between artists, scientists and thinkers to answer the rising area of quantum computing as a cosmic drive.
WE FELT A STAR DYING is now on view in Berlin by way of Could 4, 2025.
