Cathy Dong – Looking Outwards – 02

This ongoing project is called “Quantum Fluctuations: Experiments in Flux,” and created by Markos Kay. Markos Kay is a visual artist, creative director, illustrator, and lecturer in London. The artwork is made by enlarging and observing the quantum world. Kay “measures the spoils of a proton collision and compares the findings with data collected from supercomputer simulations.” Quantum simulations become the paint brush which helps visualize the proton collision, a process that cannot be seen with bare eyes. The art pieces are chaotic, ambiguous, and exciting.

With visual particle simulations, Kay records and documents the beauty by selecting moments with his own instinct. In this case, it is hard to say who is the real artist, Kay or the quantum.
