The creation of intelligent objects and dematerialized interfaces is accelerating the digital relationship between humans and machines. As a result, most of us interact with these technologies, which are based on abstract and sometimes unfamiliar concepts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A lack of concrete analogies with these microscopic quantum phenomena drives Collectif Intrigo to work on the popularization of these scientific concepts using tangible, human-scale materials and mediums, such as concrete. Supported by immersive, interactive, and participatory technologies, digital art provides the necessary mediation for this project. It allows each of us\u2014young and old\u2014to begin to grasp the quantum world that surrounds us.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Such is the goal of Collectif Intrigo\u2019s exhibition \u201cFrom Quantum Science to Artistic Experience\u201d, presented at the <a href=\"https:\/\/cultureamos.ca\/evenement\/de-la-science-quantique-a-lexperience-artistique\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amos Exhibition Center<\/a> in June 2025.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The exhibition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Exposition de la science quantique \u00e0 l&#039;exp\u00e9rience artistique\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bJYGewlNZ9U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exhibition is presented as a semi-guided visit, consisting of two rooms: the first offers an introduction to the team, the progress of the project, the stages of creation, and the tools used to popularize the project\u2019s key concepts. The second room showcases a collection of artistic iterations created by the Collective and inspired by quantum science.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"956\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/hexagram.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/DEMO63_001.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21622\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><sup>Exhibition layout.

Namely: immersion; positioning \u2013 creative framework; ideation; design; prototyping; and testing \u2013 exhibition. The room brings together the elements, archives, and unfinished concepts that enabled the Collectif to navigate these co-creation stages, while preparing the exhibition.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also features video installations that explain three major principles of quantum mechanics addressed in the exhibition: superposition, interference, and entanglement. These devices were created jointly by professor Olivier Landon-Cardinal and artist Marianne Prud\u2019homme. Additionally, Room A includes a playful installation developed by professor Bora Ung and Thierry Goyer. It helps visitors understand the Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) effect, a demonstration of the strange behavior of quantum particles through the phenomenon of interference (Hong, Ou, Mandel, 1987, p. 2044).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After defining the project, its objectives, and presenting the prototypes in Room A, Room B responds to the question posed to each artist and researcher: How can we bring the imperceptible quantum mechanics closer to our senses?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Perceive Quantum Mechanics&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Room A presents the project and its stages, Room B is designed as a hub where each artwork and scientific process operates simultaneously. Using quantum noise captured from a quantum random number generator (QRNG), binary noise is extracted, processed, and converted into a data stream. This noise is simplified (or unfolded) into six points. These points are then used by our system according to several attributes: six colors (RGB) and six positions in space and time (x, y, z, t).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"868\" height=\"720\" src=\"http:\/\/hexagram.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/DEMO63_002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21624\" style=\"width:318px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><sup>Screenshots, QRNG.

Quantum noise serves as the central metaphor for indeterminacy and the infinite realm of possibilities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All of this information materializes in various forms within the hub. In artist and professor Jean-Ambroise Vesac\u2019s [co-investigator member, UQAT] work, \u201cUnfolding Quantum Noise\u201d, features two projection screens and an interactive device available to the public. It consists of six fiber-optic-integrated triangles developed by professor Claudiane Ouellet-Plamondon [collaborator member, \u00c9TS] and Karina Arcolezi. Each triangle represents a qubit, the fundamental unit of quantum mechanics, with the entire set existing in a state of superposition. Beneath each triangle is a LED light, with its color representing a different state. Public interaction allows for the observation of transitional states\u2014observable in the quantum world but not in the classical, real-world context.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The concept of superposition inspired the duality of light\/matter, embodied in the exhibition by fiber optics passing through concrete. The notion of observation takes shape through the interactive gesture offered to visitors: by moving their hands, they manipulate, observe, and experiment with the visual and musical installation. This approach blends two opposing entities\u2014an ancient construction material and contemporary technologies derived from photonics.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1266\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/hexagram.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/DEMO63_004-1266x720.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hexagram.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/DEMO63_004-1266x720.jpg 1266w, https:\/\/hexagram.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/DEMO63_004.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1266px) 100vw, 1266px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><sup>Jean-Ambroise Vesac, <em>D\u00e9plier le bruit quantique<\/em>.

The action then determines what we call a <em>model<\/em>. The visitor\u2019s interaction influences both projection screens: one displays the position of the points in space and time, while the other offers a preview of the model composed of points and colors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Models of Immutability&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the visitor\u2019s interaction with the device is deemed interesting, the combination of colors and points they determine is recorded.

Researcher and professor Kaiwan Zhang, the creator of this system, describes it as primarily symbolic: \u201cWe immortalize a physical and tangible phenomenon through an imperceptible digital technology.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NFTs symbolize the immutability that arises from the creation of a unique model. The models featured in the exhibition serve as reminders of this immutability\u2014once created, they cannot be recreated. Through the artwork Impression CODE, these models surround us. Additionally, each NFT created adds to the collection, which is displayed on the video screen at the center of Room B. In this way, the exhibition is enriched by the accumulation of visitors\u2019 experiences: through their interaction, they become active participants in the artwork.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Perceptible data&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A frieze of models generated during the Collective\u2019s experiments is displayed around the visitor. Art and code converge into a sensitive yet logical language that filters quantum noise to extract colors, shapes, and lines. While art renders the data perceptible, the color sequences enhance the visibility of the digital process.&nbsp;At the same time, the printed images preserve the information and complement the NFTs. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/hexagram.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/DEMO63_006-960x720.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21634\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hexagram.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/DEMO63_006-960x720.jpg 960w, https:\/\/hexagram.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/DEMO63_006.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><sup>Jean-Ambroise Vesac,<em> Impressions CODE<\/em>.
