Dance of the Cosmos

interactive art installation about quantum physics

At the intersection of design, quantum physics, music and technology, Dance of the cosmos is an art installation where the visitors’ interaction is key. A journey into the quantum dimension, an interpretation of string theory in a tangible experience where music, light and concept are fused with the movements of those who enter the space, creating ephemeral universes with the dance of their own bodies.

From Marina's quantum diary. “I think I’ve been looking at quantum physics wrong. I used to believe that there were all these quantum possibilities, all these infinite things that could happen or not happen in our lives. All the potential beings and not beings, floating in indefinition, until we took one path or another and the quantum superposition collapsed, giving way only to that path we’d chosen. But that doesn’t seem quite accurate, not at all. I wonder if there’s such thing as collapsing into one universe, or rather, all the multiverses are floating so close to one another that they sometimes overlap. It might seem like one path in life is closed for us, so we go another way. But is it closed, or does it only remain in the realm of possibilities, just one set of vital guidelines that could still manifest? All of a sudden we are faced with a ghost from the past, with a person we thought we’d lost, with a journey we said no to, with an adventure we dreamed of but never happened. The quantum magic knocks on our door, the collapsed possibility detatches itself from the past and reemerges to our present, like a gift we thought nobody would give us. Is life just a game of decollapsing our choices, our thoughts, our ways, so that the truly unexpected, the full potential of our atoms, can be unleashed?”

This installation was conceived, conceptualised, designed and directed by Graphitons.
