Watch Heaney’s talk at the 15th Gwangju Biennale Symposium on the Guggenheim Museum website.
This event focuses on the intersection of sound and technology—specifically, the role of advanced technologies in transforming sound beyond traditional acoustic or digital recordings. The shift from recording technologies to recursive technologies is an epistemic shift, both in matter and meaning, in content and intent.
As we approach the era of quantum computing, it is timely to reconsider our relationship with sound—both technologically and sonically. While most of the discussions focus on sound within the realm of classical computation and Newtonian physics, topics will also introduce perspectives from quantum mechanics, where these familiar laws no longer apply and sound becomes a different physical phenomena.”
Forbes journalist Lee Sharrock featured Heaney’s slime socks as part of 13 creative ways to bring art into your life.
“Artist Libby Heaney hit the headlines during Frieze London this autumn with an unmissable sculptural installation ‘Ent- (non-earthly delights)’ in the Frieze Sculpture park. It’s possible to wear a piece of Heaney’s art in the form of her ‘slime socks’.”
“Award winning artist Dr Libby Heaney has a PhD in Quantum Information Science and is known as the first artist to work with quantum computing as a functioning artistic medium. Libby Heaney’s 2024 sculptural installation ‘Ent- (non-earthly delights)’ was exhibited in London’s Regent’s Park during Frieze this year as part of the sculpture park, and featured an augmented reality (AR) experience which highlights the transformative potential of our forthcoming quantum future.”
“Slime is a reoccurring motif in Heaney’s work, characterizing the unstable nature of all things and the self and symbolising potentiality and transformation. Heaney’s Slime Socks are an arty alternative for festive stockings this year and there is also a Slime-themed silk scarf and baseball cap.”
