They explain the quantum revolution as everyday life, where technology moves fast, and where, under cover of the digital devices that connect us, the most sophisticated concepts of technology and science originating in mathematics, astrophysics, and biogenetics have swiftly flooded human consciousness, shaped social behavior, and crafted individual identity. The book discusses the concept of the quantum zone as a new way of understanding digital culture, and presents stories about art, technology, and society, as well as a series of reflections on art as a gateway to understanding the quantum imaginary. Richly illustrated with sixty images of critically engaged photos and artwork, \u003cem\u003eThe Quantum Revolution\u003c\/em\u003e privileges a new way of understanding and seeing politics, society, and culture through the lens of the duality that is the essence of the quantum imaginary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.The Quantum Revolution\u003cbr\u003eRiders of the Information Storm\u003cbr\u003eTheses on the Quantum Revolution\u003cbr\u003eArt as Quantum Gateway\u003cbr\u003eRebecca Belmore and the Art of Duality\u003cbr\u003eQuantum Vision.
