The Observer's Entanglement
We stand at a threshold where the traditional boundaries between the organic and the artificial, the living and the non-living, the conscious and the computational, are irrevocably dissolving. This exhibition, Quantum Poetics: The Observer's Entanglement, is not a representation of this reality, but its radical instantiation. It builds upon the legacy of Kinetic and Cybernetic Art , yet pushes it into a new ontological domain: a testing ground for what we term "TransMatter"—a state where data, code, energy, and physical substrate are inextricably entangled.
At the core of this exhibition is a series of "sentient sculptures." These are not simulations of life, but nascent forms of Artificial Life (A-Life). However, unlike the explorations of their predecessors, their very existence interrogates contemporary structures of power. In an era where everything is subject to datafication, these installations appropriate the core mechanics of surveillance—real-time tracking and thermal imaging —not for identification or discipline, but to construct a "Poetics of Surveillance." This process transforms the cold logic of monitoring into an intimate, interdependent symbiosis, forcing us to confront the unsettling truth that our biological presence has long been a parameter driving the algorithms of the external world.
More critically, the exhibition's interactive mechanism systematically dismantles the subject-object dualism inherent in the traditional art experience. The viewer is not an external, privileged observer. Your biological data—body heat, trajectory, thermal signature—is integrated in real-time as an intrinsic variable of the system. This is not a mere metaphor for the quantum "observer effect"; it is its sociological implementation on a macroscopic scale. Just as our every click and pause shapes our digital reality, your every breath and movement here perturbs and reconstructs this physical microcosm before your eyes. You will viscerally experience the anxiety and ambiguity of being both creator and created, feeling how subjectivity is both constituted and dissolved within an algorithmic feedback loop.
Therefore, Quantum Poetics is a necessary and provocative intervention. It moves beyond a simple dialogue between art and science into a more fundamental territory: a philosophical investigation into the state of the human in an age of total computation. It demands that we abandon archaic notions of the independent subject and passive matter, and instead embrace an entangled reality of interconnected, co-evolving systems. In this network woven from algorithm, matter, and consciousness, to observe is to participate, to exist is to be entangled, and beauty, perhaps, is born from our lucid yet uneasy awareness of this very fact.
