ENTANGLEMENT:DOME

ENTANGLEMENT:DOME is a dazzling work created by France Jobing and Markus Heckmann that distills quantum physics theories into a swooping sensorial experience. It interprets the concept of entanglement: when two or more particles link up, and no matter how far apart they are in space, their states remain linked. It is an uncanny phenomenon in quantum physics, one that defies explanations.

The piece oscillates between four theories: the fluidity of time, the multiverse, the Copenhagen interpretation and decoherence. These complex notions are translated into a visually and sonically stunning experience guided by science, technology, and the sensitivity needed to illustrate what cannot be visualized. The viewer contemplates these revolving realms, composed of intricate graphics and audio.

Jobin and Heckmann will be in Montreal from September 3 to 7 to present their work in live performance for five nights only. The project will then be presented in film format in the Satosphere from September 17.

The SAT had the pleasure of speaking with the artists. Read the interview to learn more about the artwork and about their creative process!

This work was supported by the Society for Arts and Technology’s (SAT) work creation program. ENTANGLEMENT:DOME premiered at MUTEK 2023.
