We are currently riders of the information storm. AI fascinates us,
images mesmerize us, data defines us, algorithms remember us, news
bombards us, devices connect us, isolation saddens us. Deeply
embedded in digital technology, we are the very first inhabitants
of life in the quantum zone. The Quantum Revolution is about life
today – its entanglements, creativity, politics, and artistic
vision. Arthur Kroker and David Cook explore a new way of thinking
drawn directly from the quantum imaginary itself. They explain the
quantum revolution as everyday life, where technology moves fast,
and where, under cover of the digital devices that connect us, the
most sophisticated concepts of technology and science originating
in mathematics, astrophysics, and bio-genetics have swiftly flooded
human consciousness, shaped social behavior, and crafted individual
identity. The book discusses the concept of the quantum zone as a
new way of understanding digital culture, and presents stories
about art, technology, and society, as well as a series of
reflections on art as a gateway to understanding the quantum
imaginary. Richly illustrated with sixty images of critically
engaged photos and artwork, The Quantum Revolution privileges a new
way of understanding and seeing politics, society, and culture
through the lens of the duality that is the essence of the quantum
imaginary.
