QuantArt Bridge - Artist Residency Program
QuantArt Bridge is a unique artist residency by NCCR SPIN that invites artists to explore the world of quantum.
If you’re an artist curious about quantum physics and eager to explore its mysteries by transforming cutting-edge research into compelling visual or sensory experiences, QuantArt is your program!
QuantArt is more than just a residency: it’s a bridge between disciplines, where intuition meets precision, creativity meets quantum, and science meets the soul. Through this exchange, we want to transform equations into emotions and data into wonder, making the most complex concepts of quantum science accessible, tangible, and meaningful to a broader audience.
As a resident artist, you’ll collaborate with physicists at NCCR SPIN, engage in scientific dialogue, and develop artwork that reflects, questions, or reimagines the quantum realm.
We invite artists of all disciplines (visual, sound, media, performance, and more) who are enthusiastic about engaging with science and helping us tell the evolving story of quantum through art.
