"Quantum Confusion"

The concept behind “Quantum Confusion” involves theories given to the existence of many, or parallel worlds, both in the disciplines of Quantum Physics and Metaphysics. They range from solid research that delivers actual theory-proving data, to more esoteric work. Popular media occasionally tries to produce their own version of these theories, from an episode of “Lost in Space” that showed characters on the program walking into another world through a special mirror portal, to the contemporary Fox network series “Fringe”. Whether any parts of these theories eventually prove to be true remains to be seen, but with further developments in the world of Quantum Physics, we are constantly reminded that the more we discover, the less we know. My installation plays with the portal idea, using Plexiglas (instead of a mirror). The Physicist, with her pencil and clipboard, is the only alert presence, as the other participants complacently participate in something they haven’t figured out y
