Eat My Multiverse is a highly personal account of the self as quantum, evoking natural metaphors to conjure images of inner worlds and to explore how technology flattens our glorious, wild multitudes. 

“Artist Libby Heaney deploys a live virtual environment to challenge sanitized narratives that obscure the magical and queer aspects of quantum phenomena. The piece is drawn from Heaney’s own memories and associated emotions, exploring quantum as a metaphor for self. For MoMI’s monumental Redstone Theater screen, Heaney has used IBM’s quantum computers to create a real-time multiverse that she will also enter as she performs through her webcam feed. The performance invites a reconsideration of the concessions raised among the fundamental poetics of science, human existence, and market forces.”

Heaney is currently developing an interactive installation version of the work. Please contact her for more details.

Eat My Multiverse was commissioned by the Museum of Moving Image, New York as part of their Reframe program.
