The Story in Brief
Science Gallery Bengaluru's year-long exhibition QUANTUM opens to the public free of cost today. It features 34 exhibits by 14 artists from six countries, using art, design, and games to explain quantum concepts like superposition and entanglement. Highlights include a Schrödinger's Cat lenticular artwork, an immersive installation on bird navigation, and a game based on quantum entanglement.
Trained mediators explain the science in English, Kannada, and other Indian languages. Founding director Jahnavi Phalkey said the aim is to make quantum less mysterious without losing its wonder. A dedicated section highlights contributions of women in quantum physics.
The Indian Opinion
Some dismiss art-based science exhibitions as gimmicks, but Quantum at Science Gallery Bengaluru blends play with pedagogy. The trained mediators and women-in-quantum section show genuine educational intent. The real test: will visitors grasp the observer effect as clearly as they remember the cat artwork? If curiosity is sparked, the exhibition succeeds.
