LO-Sound Art

The project I choose for this week LO is an exploratory public engagement project called quantum parallelograph by Professor David Deutsch of Oxford University. It basically applies the notion of parallel universe into a public engaging experiment based on the Young’s double slit theory. Since the double slit experiment says that a photon of light appears to pass through the double slits, the scientists suggests that a connection is made across universes when this happen. Therefore, they made the abstract idea of parallel universe into something tangible and visible. Interestingly, this project examines a scientific notion from an aesthetic point of view, it also approaches the scientific fiction by letting people engage in the activity of “communicating” with the alternate kind of self in another parallel world.
