Libby Heaney
artist, b. 1983.
Dr Libby Heaney is a working class, award-winning artist with a PhD and professional background in Quantum Science. She is the first artist to work with quantum computing as a functioning artistic medium. Heaney’s practice explores the inherently non-binary and hybrid concepts and non-linear temporalities of quantum physics. She combines diverse media such as virtual reality, video games, moving image, watercolor, glass, and most recently, public sculpture with cutting-edge technologies including AI and quantum computing. Spanning the organic, the mechanical, and the human, Heaney’s practice continuously seeks to expand the possibilities of the individual and the collective through the irrational magic of quantum, while critically queering capitalist uses of technology.
