Laure Prouvost's exhibition "We Felt a Star Dying" at Kraftwerk Berlin, commissioned by LAS Art Foundation and co-commissioned by OGR Torino, uses quantum computing to create an ever-changing installation featuring a cascading fabric, a film altered by quantum variations, and a breathing soundscape. The work, which includes a film fed into a quantum computer to introduce indeterminate edits, explores superposition and entanglement, challenging viewers to experience art that resists fixed interpretation.
This matters because Prouvost's integration of quantum computing as a creative tool signals a potential new artistic era, where technology expands the boundaries of visual art beyond digestible, marketable forms. By embracing ambiguity and quantum theory's defiance of classical reality, the exhibition offers a model for art that remains fluid and resistant to singular meaning, relevant in an age of rapid technological and perceptual change.
