Entangle Moment – A Fusion of Art & Science
The “Entangle Moment” exhibition offers an opportunity to explore the interconnected worlds of Quantum, Earth, and Universe through the fusion of art and science. Held at the EXPO Exhibition Center “WASSE” from August 14th to 20th, 2025, as part of the Osaka-Kansai Expo, the exhibition presents a series of “entangled” displays where scientific research and artistic expression come together. From the microscopic realm of quantum physics to the depths of the ocean, Earth’s environment, and the vastness of space, visitors can engage with themes that highlight the hidden structures of our universe.
N’SO KYOTO – Quantum 2.0 Performance
As part of the exhibition program, N’SO KYOTO will do several performances of Quantum 2.0 on August 14th on the central stage. This audio-visual performance, composed for percussion solo, electronics, Ceramophone (a ceramic instrument), and augmented reality, explores fundamental principles of quantum physics through sound and imagery.
By combining live performance, electronic soundscapes, and augmented reality, Quantum 2.0 offers a unique interpretation of subatomic oscillations and the dynamics of matter, providing audiences with an immersive artistic experience within the broader context of the exhibition.
