“Art x science, both a tale as old as time, and a revolutionary idea”
Named as one of the top exhibitions to see in London by londonist and TimeOut, Science Gallery London’s Quantum Untangled season closed last month, reaching over 40,000 visitors with a free exhibition and events series that considered the nature of our quantum reality.
Through the eyes of artists, scientists, philosophers and poets, Quantum Untangled invited visitors to travel through quantum’s shifting scales: encompassing tiny subatomic particles and the ever-expanding universe, meeting mind-altering perspectives along the way.
Visitors encountered awe-inspiring works including two large immersive installations from Conrad Shawcross RA, sculptural installations by Alistair McClymont, Monica C. LoCascio & Daniela Brill Estrada and Matthew Woodham, Robin Baumgarten’s playful installation Quantum Jungle, poetry from Studio Quantum’s artist in residence Chandrika Narayanan-Mohan, photography by David Severn and films developed with the King’s Quantum community.
The events programme featured two sold out Friday Lates and partnerships with the London Quantum Cluster, The Cosmic House, Moth Quantum and King’s Digital Futures Institute. Events explored everything from the nature of the universe, the potential of quantum for the creative industries and the role that quantum may play in the future of humanity.
