00:30and other cultural forms.
00:31We are familiar with the idea of teleportation, for example.
00:36Teleportation is a quantum concept, but of course we've all seen Star Trek
00:41and some of us have seen The Fly and Terminator.
00:46We also, those of us who have an iPhone, know that we can put our phones together
00:51and information is switched between the two phones simultaneously.
00:56That is, in fact, an illustration of teleportation.
01:00Here at OGR, we have a very different space, a fantastic big space,
01:05and we've created an exhibition using an architecture from science fiction cinema.
01:12It's 2001 by Stanley Kubrick.
01:15There is a strange black object called a monolith,
01:19and we have built this monolith in many sizes into this space.
01:25And the films are shown on these monoliths.
01:28The whole show is about a parallel conversation around certain mysterious things
01:35that physicists discovered in the 20th century.
01:38And we call the show The Quantum Effect, because some of these ideas have been interpreted
01:44by novelists, by filmmakers, by artists.
01:48So it's a show about art and science, but maybe more about how artists react to scientific discoveries.
01:55If something happens to the one, the opposite immediately happens to the other.
02:00And that's because space doesn't exist in the quantum world in the same way.
02:05Between my hands, you see space in a kind of classical way.
02:10But in the ideas of entanglement, there is no space between two entangled objects.
02:16They are, in fact, one.
02:18That's the kinds of things that we're exploring in the show.
02:21There's a room by a collective called Faustin,
02:25where what happens in one room simultaneously happens in another via projection
02:32that you can see in the show.
