The installation is part of the LAS Art Foundation's Sensing Quantum program, which aims to explore the implications of quantum technology through art. Prouvost collaborated with Google's Quantum AI lab, gaining access to a quantum computer and experimenting with AI models. The project emphasizes the discontinuity of quantum processes, challenging binary perceptions of reality. "We Felt a Star Dying" runs through May 4 at Kraftwerk Berlin, inviting visitors to experience the unpredictability and interconnectedness of the quantum realm.
Key takeaways:
- Laure Prouvost's installation "We Felt a Star Dying" explores quantum principles through a multisensory experience, using video, sound, scent, and sculpture.
- The installation, commissioned by the LAS Art Foundation, aims to make quantum concepts relatable by engaging audiences in everyday interactions and perceptions.
- Prouvost collaborated with Google’s Quantum AI lab and philosopher Tobias Rees to integrate quantum computing and AI into her art, emphasizing the philosophical implications of quantum processes.
- The installation is part of the LAS Art Foundation’s Sensing Quantum program, which will continue to explore quantum mechanics through art until 2026.
