Constellations 2025: Uncertainty

The CETI community of artists, technologists, scientists, engineers, musicians and hackers will gather art-science-tech explorations for collaborative creative experiments to engage with the powerful ideas and implications of quantum science and technology, celebrating 100 years since the initial development of quantum mechanics as part of the International year of Quantum Science and Technology! 

About Uncertainty

A creative exploration of the absurd and powerful ideas and implications of quantum that transformed our understanding of the universe and our interpretation of reality. 

Through speculative conversations, fantastical tangible creations, thought experiments, and philosophical paradoxes, we interpret and unravel the unreasonable yet simple theories that describe and predict the relationship of the microcosmic world to the macrocosm challenging our intuition. Through art, storytelling, and enigmatic creations, we interpret the many structures of reality, exploring the surreal and strange notion of short-lived particles that linger through their permanent effects in the world, and try to reconcile our minds so enamored of certainty with the disorienting possibilities of many realities and worlds leading to the unsettling yet uncanny sense that perhaps all is not as clear it seems.
