Project description
Integrating quantum computing and creative practice
Quantum computing (QC) offers an opportunity to reconsider computation and opens up exciting possibilities for creative practices. However, there is currently a need for improved integration between QC, music, and the visual arts. Creating synergies and experimental collaborations will allow shared, inclusive language and knowledge to emerge. To bridge the gap between art and science, it is essential to involve artists and scientists in both theoretical and practical discussions. The MSCA-funded IIMPAQCT project will explore ways to diversify the community engaged with QC, emphasising its epistemological and practical connections to the creative arts, particularly in the field of music. The project aims to connect arts, science, and technology through three research dimensions: artistic, technological-scientific, and curricular.
Objective
Emergent technologies open new avenues for industry and society but rarely create an open and inclusive space to think through their implications. Quantum Computing (QC) currently represents a change in paradigm by offering a unique opportunity to rethink computation from its very inception. In its effects and applications, this is also the time and space to approach creative practice in an entirely new way.
IIMPAQCT (Integrated Interdisciplinary Music Practice And Quantum Computing Technologies) explores ways to expand and diversify the community engaged with QC, and its epistemological and praxical connection to the Creative Arts with emphasis in Music. Recent explorations in QC and Music, as well as in the Visual Arts domain, have been pursued in isolation and even detached from contextual artistic practice and theory. The lack of real integration, that engages creative artists in the QC theoretical discussion and practical explorations, makes the distance between Art and Science even wider and hinders the sustainability of a truly diverse society, both socio-culturally and technologically.
IIMPAQCT aims to develop and reinforce new interdisciplinary links connecting Arts, Science and Technology through 3 main intertwined research-work dimensions: i) an Artistic dimension promoting a network of creative practitioners engaging with QC while empowering them to be active participants in the field development; ii) a Technologic-Scientific dimension focusing on the improvement and creation of practical tools and methods towards an intersectoral innovation; and iii) a Curricular dimension that unfolds with the creation of study and research spaces in QC and Arts, as spaces for knowledge/theory construction, as well as analysis and multi-artistic creations. This project uses principles of open access by engaging with a local/global community of musicians and artists.
