The second part of Terry Flaxton’s new collection Entangled: The Human Gaze in an Age of Quantum Entanglement is formed from four new works which shift gear from the first part of the same work also with four new works which tried to create a vision of the nature of the dynamic change from the Analogue to the Digital era - Part 2 of the Entangled seeks to depict the transformation from the Digital to the Quantum era.
Everyone who purchases the Part 1 of the Entangled collection will receive a special edition - the eight part of the collection Universal Colloquim in their vault for free. Plus, the other 3 artworks of Part 2 of the collection will be offered at 50% discounted price for those who collect the entire Part 1 of the collection.
Each part is discrete yet complete – and is a developing set of interconnected ideas concerning the rapidity of thinking, attention and cognition as human comprehension accelerates. The proposition is that the gaze is altering to comprehend our next developmental step as humans. In becoming familiar with the wonders of the digital we’ve begun to realise that our minds do not compute as a computer does - we take an entirely different route to cognising answers and that is not unlike how we imagine the way that quantum devices work.
A quantum device does not compute – it uses a variety of methods which effectively is a comparison of probabilities, not unlike the way we view the world. The real issue with the quantum is how to work out the best probability and this requires an entirely new route to supply solutions which Flaxton sets out to create a variety of visualisations of - such that culminating in the eighth part of the collection; Universal Colloquim (a special edition), we have proceeded fully into an Entangled relationship with reality and the tools with which we seek to manipulate that reality, have in truth also changed us in their use – hence the title of the work: Entangled: The Human Gaze in an Age of Quantum Entanglement.
