Title:
Conceptual Superposition. The Aesthetics Of Quantum Simulation
Writing Type: Paper
Author(s):
Exhibition: SIGGRAPH Asia 2015: Life on Earth
Abstract Summary:I examine the conceptual and aesthetic implications of quantum simulation by reading Richard Feynman’s lecture “Simulating Physics with Computers” with Theodor Adorno’s aesthetic theory; I argue that the very notion of quantum simulation is in a state of conceptual superposition – which is, at its core, an aesthetic principle.
