LHC & Quantum Computing

October 11th, 2010

Researched on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the observer effect. “No objects, just relationships at the atomic level”. Quantum computing is quickly becoming a “new renaissance”
Mirascope with a small amount of therofluid in the middle. More interested in closed-looping systems and the images they produce.

Critique:
Timothy Druckrey: What you are tackling are in too many avenues on the basics of what you want to do. Art of the 20th century attempted to assimilate scientific innovations. Newton’s era ending and Einstein’s relativity was a huge influence on the art world. Art influenced science and vice versa. When Quantum Science came about; there was a crisis because this was when science could not longer create a visual representation of the world.

Craig Kalpakjian: “Catching the Light” Even a watered down explanation is towards a certain perspective and still contested. “The Knowable and the unknowable”. What does the Quantum world represent? What does Math and Science represent?

Timothy Druckrey: What are the goals of scientific representation? What are the Art’s representational goals?

Craig Kalpakjian: The history of imaging in trying to capture the “image” of the electron is something you might want to investigate. In order to successfully capture this detail, the shift was to use CCD’s instead of photo-plates. So the development of digital imaging is important as well.
