Quantum Picture I

2012 | Participatory Audiovisual Installation

Quantum Picture series is a performative audio-visual installation sensitive to movement. An image is being constantly processed based on the viewer's movement by using computer vision and image analysis. The process is irreversible, the original is lost and one can see only fragments of the initial image and sounds remained from the last visitor. The quantum state of the installation is being altered in the process of observation. The project is inspired by the principals of quantum mechanics and quantum measurement.
