Quantum computing and AI. 2025.

Superpositions explores the intersection of quantum mechanics, artificial intelligence, and consciousness. Each piece manifests as a handcrafted clamshell box containing three sealed envelopes – a Quantum Drawing generated from quantum computer data, an AI Interpretation of that drawing, and the original quantum data stored as an NFT. None of these elements have been observed – not even during their creation – positioning them in states of quantum indeterminacy.

In quantum physics, “superposition” describes a fundamental principle where particles exist in multiple states simultaneously. Just as Schrödinger’s theoretical cat exists as both alive and dead until the box is opened, quantum particles maintain all possible values until measured. The Von Neumann interpretation suggests that this superposition persists through every stage of measurement until encountered by conscious awareness – making consciousness itself the critical element that transforms probability into definite reality.

These works are constructed to inhabit that indeterminate space, with their contents remaining in superposition until conscious observation collapses the field of potential into a single outcome. The project questions whether consciousness itself is the threshold for quantum collapse: if an AI produces an image based on unseen input, has observation already occurred?

Superpositions is not a representation of quantum theory but a physical instantiation of its principles. The viewer becomes an essential participant in the realization of the piece — their decision to observe permanently altering the work by resolving its quantum state. As long as the envelopes remain sealed, the images they contain exist in all possible forms simultaneously.

The work remains deliberately incomplete without the observer, structured to explore the fundamental role consciousness plays in determining reality.
