Join us for an unforgettable experience as we delve into the captivating world of Artist Serena Scapagnini, fascinated by the processes underlying memory. The event will commence with the U.S. Premiere of the documentary “Serena Scapagnini – The Space Beyond” (Lo Spazio Oltre), featuring an extended version that showcases her recent artistic residency at the Yale Quantum Institute. Following this screening, immerse yourself in an engaging discussion about art, memory, and quantum technology with Serena and her collaborators.
Serena’s work uniquely blends art and science, exploring the intricacies of memory—from the human brain, synapses, and thoughts to phenomena in quantum computing such as quantum memory, decoherence, and qubit lifetimes in superconducting devices. Her collaborations with neuroscientists at the Higley Lab and quantum researchers at the Yale Quantum Institute enrich her art, taking shape through drawings, paintings, spatial installations, and videos.
