FIBER Festival 2024 | Context Programme Day 2 | Outer/Space

Sat Jun 1 | de Brakke Grond Outer/Space – Exploring Quantum Bodies & More-Than Planet Knowledge Speakers: Libby Heaney & Miha Turšič (More-than-Planet Project) Moderator: Abdo Hassan Is it really possible that we exist in multiple forms in different worlds? What does outer space teach us about our bodies and behaviour? There are physics theories that leave room for this thinking at the quantum level. In these, bodies are at the same time, in different worlds and states. While there’s no proof (yet) of the existence of multiple realities, we can learn a lot about our potential alien relationship with outer space and the quantum level. It challenges one to review the Western-based frameworks of (biological) identities, moving towards new fluid and queer cultures for the 21st century. In this session, we look at how artists and researchers work with scientific research and imagine possible realities.
