Around 100 years ago, scientists uncovered that light behaves in unpredictable ways at the microscopic level, sparking the birth of quantum physics and technology.
A century later, a revolutionary quantum computer is being built in Amsterdam. But how does it work, and what kind of new world might it help create a century from now?
In collaboration with Amsterdam Light Festival, Quantum Delta NL, Beeldjutters, and 1500 children from Amsterdam, this question was explored: What if the world were different? What if anything were possible?
Through a series of workshops, the children were invited to imagine alternative realities and reflect on the potential of quantum technology to shape the future. Using a digital drawing tool, they created fragments of their envisioned futures: from futuristic homes to reimagined nature and new ways of living.
These creations became the heart of Kwantumfantum Multiversum, a large-scale light artwork where the children's visions of tomorrow converge. Each screen acts as a window into a possible future, one where quantum technology shapes the world for the better. This immersive display showcases the boundless creativity of youth, inviting us to rethink what’s possible and to shape our collective future.
