The standard theory of quantum physics has attributed immense advances to humanity in the construction of the present society, and therefore, of the reality of this same one. Nevertheless, this theory shows a small fissure or doubt with respect to the direct union of the macrouniverse to the microuniverse. A complete theory. Much has been discussed and thought, in this field, and here Quantumly is situated; the study and investigation of "Consciousness in the universe. A review of the 'OR' Orch Theory". Proposed by Stuart Hameroff and Roger Penrose.
The work has had different variations, initially thought as an artist's book and then as an installation with Mixed Reality, the work is in a constant process, in a curious threshold of possibility. Currently, it is divided into two spaces; the first is the exploration of a material, the fique, for its versatility in forms, reminiscent of images of neuronal interweaving, while its randomness in space, directly related to the indefinite trajectory that a particle can have in space. Additionally, scrolls are juxtaposed with writings based on the notes taken during the residency.
The second space is still a study of this proposal, which can question, relate and contribute to the gap on how the micro with the macro world is connected. This space is a workshop developed as a research-creation group in the 2nd Cycle of Suratómica: At the Edge of Chaos. A space for discussion about paradigms or realities, allowing the construction of new possibilities of knowledge.
Finally, we are not looking for truths but possibilities that can be written in space-time.
