The Politics of Numbers

The Politics of Numbers explores the intersection between abstract digital art and the geopolitical implications of quantum technologies. The work visualizes quantum processes, with patterns evoking wave function structures, portraying the hidden layers of reality shaped by randomness. At the core of these abstractions lies the role of quantum random numbers—fundamental to encryption, security, and the global race for quantum supremacy. What is the relationship between abstraction and political influence, historically rooted in the Abstract Expressionism movement, and the present-day strategic use of randomness in the emerging technological cold war, where the mastery of randomness becomes a tool of power?
