Entanglement is a contemplative, non-game, Virtual Reality artwork that aims to sweep the viewer through a 360° view of four different audiovisual sequences. Generative computer graphics and 3D binaural audio craft a radiant and relaxing ride as you sway in the middle of orbiting particles and sophisticated light-play. WHAT IS ENTANGLEMENT? When two or more non-interacting particles link up in a certain way, no matter how far apart they are in space, and their states remain linked. They now share a common, unified state. It is an uncanny phenomenon in quantum physics , one that defies explanations. Einstein didn’t believe in it. This piece blends scientific research and artistic performance. Adapted from a live audio-visual festival show, Entanglement oscillates between four theories: the fluidity of time, the multiverse, the Copenhagen interpretation and decoherence. These complex notions are translated into a visually and sonically stunning experience guided by science, technology, and sensitivity.
