Quantum technologies are developing fast, promising new ways of computing, sensing, and securing information. But as they grow more powerful, they also raise difficult questions. How will these systems shape our society, and who will they benefit? Coexist responds to the lack of public understanding around quantum science by turning abstract principles into something people can see, feel, and reflect on.
The installation is based on artistic research by Emergence Delft, a student-led, interdisciplinary team. Visitors pass through a large-scale structure that uses light and polarizing filters to show how quantum concepts like superposition and measurement work. Just as particles exist in many states until observed, the installation reveals how different perspectives affect what we see and know. By linking quantum theory with social experience, Coexist opens a space for dialogue about complexity, uncertainty, and the future we are building with technology.
