 Quantum Polytopes a reactive installation illustrating quantum concepts by means of telepresence.

The installation is based a platonic solid (cubeoctahedron) capable of filling a three-dimensional space. Two identical objects were simultaneously placed in different geographical locations transmitting singnals between one another.



Quantum Polytopes hints at the overall shape that the human presence takes in the universe. The object is a trans-scalar representation of a tessellation that may no or may not be the underlying structure of physical space. In terms of interaction, it assumes scale based on the viewers belief. Depending on this rapport it can be perceived either as a micro-structure enlarged 
to a ridiculous proportion or an enormous event contained in an insufficient device.



Two separate iteration were exhibited @ The Wild State:Networked Exhibition at Kunst­uni­versität Linz during Ars Electronica Festival 2020 - and @ UNATC Garden: Distant Art 9-13th September 2020
