N’SO KYOTO will present Quantum 2.0, over three days of Performances & Talks in the event space of the France Pavilion.
The performance:
Quantum 2.0 is a cutting-edge work for solo percussion, electronics, the Ceramophone (a unique ceramic instrument), and augmented reality. This piece explores the fundamental principles of quantum physics through sound and visuals, merging live performance, electronics, and new technologies to delve into the subatomic oscillations of matter itself.
The Talk Session:
Speakers include Koji Hashimoto (scientific advisor and theoretical physicist), Yannick Paget (composer and performer), and Toru Kurokawa (ceramicist). The discussion will provide the audience with deeper insights into the conceptual and technical aspects of Quantum and its artistic-scientific approach.
Composition, Percussion, Electronics & Augmented Reality: Yannick Paget
