- Title
Doubting Conventional Reality: Interactive Mind Works.
- Authors
STONE, LYNDEN
- Abstract
Quantum mechanics sits uncomfortably with "conventional reality," defined as knowable, objective and mind-independent. There seems to be no consensus among physicists as to what the findings of quantum mechanics mean for conventional reality. Drawing on concepts of quantum mechanics, the author makes artworks that provoke viewers to doubt conventional reality. Here, she discusses two of her interactive "mind works," which provide not only artistic metaphorical representations of quantum concepts but also quantum random events that allow viewers to test their beliefs, or otherwise, in a reality that is objective and mind-independent.
