The Cabinet of Intangible Curiosities - Artist talk by Alex May

Digital artist Alex May presents an overview of his new artwork "The Cabinet of Intangible Curiosities" that responds to the new science of quantum biology.
The work employs the concept of the Cabinet of Curiosities, to collect unobservable artefacts from the intangible quantum realm.
Each vignette takes on a different concept or theme, from the
magnetoreception of robins used to navigate the Earth’s magnetic fields,
to tandem dimer chromophores where the photon results from a
superposition, photosynthesis, spherical cows, and the human fear of
the invisible.
Alex worked with leading researchers, including Dr. Youngchan Kim, the
world’s only Lecturer in Quantum Biology, and Director of the Quantum
Biology Doctoral Training Centre.
The artwork debuted at the University of Surrey’s Quantum Biology and
Blue Sky Research conference in July 2024.
Alex May's visit to the School of Biosciences was made possible through
a Fellowship awarded by Surrey’s Institute of Advanced Studies.
The talk took place at the University of Surrey on 11th July 2024.
