Giuliana Cunéaz Explores Quantum Physics in Manchester Projection

Italian artist Giuliana Cunéaz (born 1959 in Aosta) has created 'Quantum Quirks', a LED projection exploring quantum theory and nanoscale matter behavior. The work is projected on the facade of the Modal Gallery School of Digital Art (SODA) in Manchester until March 15, curated by Valentino Catricalà and Thomas Dukes. Cunéaz previously experimented with AI in her 2023 installation 'La belle au bois dormant', shown at Casa degli Artisti in Milan during 'Visibile/Invisibile. Tecniche della Meraviglia'. For 'Quantum Quirks', she collaborated with scientist Fabio Truc to reinterpret quantum phenomena such as entanglement, double-slit experiment, tunnel effect, and wave function through playful animated forms, lights, and colors. The artist describes how in the infinitely small, electrons or photons can pass through two holes simultaneously or be in multiple places at once, communicating across vast distances. The projection animates Manchester's skyline.
