Description
EPISODE 41 of ‘All About Art’: Quantum Physics & Art with Libby Heaney
In this episode, I speak to the fabulous London-based contemporary artist Libby Heaney.
Libby studied Physics at Imperial College London and has a PhD in Quantum Information Science from the University of Leeds. She spent 5 years working as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Oxford and the National University of Singapore, leading her own research and publishing 20 papers on topics like quantum entanglement and quantum biology. In 2008, she won HSBC and the Institute of Physics Very Early Career Woman physicist of the year and a prestigious EPSRC postdoctoral fellowship.
However, as you will hear later on in the episode, Libby retrained as an artist at Central St. Martins, graduating in 2015, and now works at the intersection of advanced technologies, science and art. She is widely recognized as a pioneer of quantum computing and art, receiving substantial international press for her artwork Ent-, which is a work we will discuss in depth later on.
