Quantum Theater
Performance, Video/Animation
2024-2025
Visuals + Visual System Demo
Trailer
Roles: Writer, Co-Producer, Visual Design Lead, + Technical Developer
Developed the main visual language for the piece, as well as the TouchDesigner system to interact with the background visuals. Supported the writing, experience design, and co-led the logistical aspects of the piece.
Quantum Theater: Extending Reality for Post-AI Liveness
Quantum Theater takes quantum science as subject and method for playable theater. Phenomena like entanglement, superposition, coherence, and collapse shape the performance in a post-AI exploration of liveness, variability, and improvisation. Multiple realities are layered on stage, where the audience as observer-participant plays an active role in cohering singular narratives.
Showcased here is the visual portion of the performance that I created. The grid of 12 visuals represents 12 alternate universes, once of those 12 is selected as the “true” universe, the that universe is fractured into 4 alternate universes, then finally one of those variants is the final “true” universe.
The changing of the universes is driven by a Geigar counter, and the visual noise and choosing of the “true” universes are determined by a series of quantum selections written to json files.
Quantum Theater debuted and playtested at SIGGRAPH 2025 Spatial Storytelling in Vancouver, Canada.
