Libby Heaney

Dr. Libby Heaney is a working class, award winning artist with a PhD and professional background in Quantum Science. She is the first artist to work with quantum computing, beginning in 2019.

Heaney’s practice explores the inherently non-binary and hybrid concepts and temporalities of quantum physics. She combines diverse media such as virtual reality, video games and moving image with cutting-edge technologies like AI and quantum computing and traditional media such as watercolour, glass and most recently public sculpture. Together these media create a dream-like aesthetic, asking big philosophical questions about the nature of reality while remaining very human — intimate and embodied.
