About Goethe-Institut Studio Quantum Programme 2024

Studio Quantum is an international events and artist-in-residence programmeย from the Goethe-Institut, exploring emerging quantum technologies through the lens of art.โ€ฏStudio Quantum is exploring important cultural, ethical and ecological questions around the impact of quantum technologies. The project consists of three key strands: residencies, events and a project showcase.

Program Details

The programme and accompanying event series will explore the impact of quantum computing on sustainability and climate change, the relationship between quantum technologies and artificial intelligence, as well as data security and data encryption.

The Studio Quantum residences in 2024 are open to artists based in the following project locations:ย Germany, Ireland, Mexico, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Nigeria, India (States of Karnataka and Kerala) & South Africa.โ€ฏOne artist will be selected to represent each location.

During the residencies, artists will be invited to travel to a different location and incorporate quantum technologies into the subject matter of their work and/or create work using quantum technologies, accessed via the cloud. Artists are also invited toย explore new techniques and methods of artistic productionย enabled by quantum technologies.
