Artscience experience and replenishing the spirit

The start of January had been difficult time of letting go of the old and embracing the new - letting go is what is hard. At the same time, I was expected to be traveling to Singapore for a conference, and later, to meet with family members I have not seen in years, neither of which were easy. Additionally, it was the month when I had to redefine my identity for the year - professional guidance books are great in that but the emotional and psychological change are effected more slowly. So many things were then up in the air, both in the professional and personal front, that there is a sense of being in a sort of stalemate. But at the end of the day, the worst brings about the good when you start paying attention to things you forget in all that bustle; that new attentiveness takes you down another road you have forgotten even existed. When you stop trying too hard and just take in every opportunity to relish the moments, the opportunity for new inspirations arise and nothing seems as

First Science-Art Project in Jan 2017: Speculative Theory and Fiction in Interference Experiments

Hello all, In conjunction with the Conference of 90 years of QM to be held in Singapore Jan 23-26, I have been invited by the organisers to share my work in a poster (despite not being a physicist, and not that physicist who works specifically in the foundations of quantum physics/quantum information etc). The abstract, together with a link to the poster the poster, could be found below. cheers Clarissa ------- This poster discusses a project that deploys well known examples from thought and actual experiments involving the interference phenomenon (and the concept of dualism as represented by the phenomenon) in quantum physics to produce fictional equivalents for speculative exploration and experimentation. The objectives of the project include enhancement to existing forms of physics instruction, scientific method for envisioning novel and unprecedented possibilities through the simulation of fictitious scenarios, and communication of speculative and more established scient
