Quantum Art in the Making
Experience quantum art as it happens!
In this one-hour session, Berlin-based artist Roman Lipski traces his path from classical landscape painting to AI-assisted creation with AI Muse and, today, with the quantum based tools Quantum Blur and the brand-new Quantum Brush. He will show Quantum Babylon, a video art work reflecting on what quantum computing could mean for humanity’s future.
The video was made with Quantum Blur, a technique that encodes images into quantum states so that interference and entanglement reshape them into new visual forms.
The centrepiece of the presentation is the new Quantum Brush: João Ferreira and Astryd Park (both Moth Quantum) present this open-source, quantum-powered painting tool with four distinct “brushes.” Each brush maps a painter’s strokes to a different quantum algorithm, highlighting how quantum effects can produce novel aesthetics. Designed for today’s NISQ devices, the tool has been executed on IQM’s Sirius quantum processor.
A short live demonstration will show how a single input image evolves on screen as the Quantum Brush is used to co-create.
We close with a panel and Q&A, moderated by Marilena Longobardi (NCCR Spin Basel): How do art and science inspire each other? What new skills—and ethics—do we need when creative practice meets quantum technology? Attendees will leave with a grounded understanding of the science, and a feel for its artistic possibilities.
