On Saturday 7 December Not Rocket Science invites contributors who use their practice to complicate, reimagine, or reflect on the scientific method. The event is connected to Agustina Woodgate’s exhibition More Heat Than Light, which uses the principles of quantum communication to build a communications system based on temperature. Not Rocket Science expands this focus, presenting imaginations of what the sciences are after quantum mechanics. 

Harun Šiljak will talk about quantum physics in popular culture and its broader geopolitical implications; Adriana Knouf (in collaboration with Venzha Christ) will investigate the occult origins of rocket science and the contemporary connection between extraterrestrials and spirituality through her work at Kampung Alien in Indonesia; a screening of Anna Engelhardt’s Onset connects military investigation with medieval demonology; and finally, there is a chance to win books about quantum arts from the Stroom bookshop through an audience game designed by Kexin Hao.  

This program is part of Entangled Codes, Stroom’s exploration of the body as a medium for technology, with particular attention to accessibility in the digital world.  

The program is organised in collaboration with iii, who are hosting the event Quantum Connection on December 6th, featuring artists and educators who feel responsible to translate the principles of quantum mechanics to a wide audience.
