Quantom

Quantom-side-small

Quantom is a kinetic laser installation.

The installation consists of a slow, irregularly wobbling mosaic mirror, the surface of which is illuminated with 5 line-lasers to create complex wandering reflections on a canvas on a wall.

The laser is quantified as a sharp continuous beam by this apparatus, i.e. divided into packages that seem to evade Newtonian physics and drip down and upwards.

The result is only seemingly predictable, but not in detail. We have to live with the uncertainty, with the blurring, with the potentiality.
