Heaney will perform Eat My Multiverse at the Museum of Moving Image, New York City at 7pm on the 11 April 2025.

Eat My Multiverse interrogates how quantum computing’s potential is reduced to commodified, consumable forms driven by capitalist greed. 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.
