Nibble My Multiverse, 2025, real-time quantum multiverses on two channels with live webcam feed (via Unity app) and stereo sound, 11min 28 evolving loop
Nibble My Multiverse is a moving, personal account of the self as quantum, evoking natural metaphors to conjure images of inner worlds.
Nibble My Multiverse invites audiences to feel the self as queer & quantum and to explore the magical & entangled nature of being.
A spoken narrative draws on Heaney’s personal memories, often contradictory feelings and thorny emotions, thinking of the self as part of nature – wild and unruly – rather than separate to it.
On the projection screens, AI generated videos of slimy, natural and bodily forms are layered with close ups of Heaney’s mouth and glimmers of a live webcam feed of the audience, highlighting the entangled, unboundaried and fluid nature of existence.
The layers pulsate in and out of being – becoming more or less visible – determined by the wave like patterns of quantum entanglement from one of IBM’s 5 qubit quantum computers, suggesting an extra-dimensional, shapeshifting & interconnected lived experience.
