Visiting the Uffizi Galleries in Florence last month prompted me to think about resonances between illusion of classical painting and the illusion of classical physics.
Quantum mechanics tells us that our underlying microscopic reality is fluid, plural and layered, existing across much higher dimensions than three spatial dimensions plus time.
This contrasts our macroscopic Newtonian world, which is just one possibility from an almost infinite number and exists in 3D so is flat compared to the exponential dimensions of quantum space.
Similarly to how we might get close or touch a 2D renaissance painting to reveal it’s flatness and depicted illusion, we can use quantum tools as portals to access traces of our ‘true’ underlying extra-dimensional reality.
The layering in my quantum video editing works starts to opens up these extra-dimensional perspectives.
