Quantum Sandbox at the Spark Digital Immersion Gallery
OPENS NOVEMBER 23

QUANTUM SANDBOX

Get subatomic in an immersive pixel playground!

Play with pixels (again!) in Quantum Sandbox, coming back to Spark’s Digital Immersion Gallery!   

Immerse yourself in a vivid realm where colour, energy, and sound come alive around you.

Rediscover five core principles of quantum physics, now with a new addition: Entanglement. Explore this endless playground where science and art meet, with each visit offering a fresh journey through landscapes shifting with light, time, and motion.

The Indigenous ways of knowing expressed within this experience were gifted by Blackfoot community members. Indigenous communities across Turtle Island (North America) and around the world have unique ways of knowing because they are connected to their ancestral lands. There are 45 Indigenous groups in Alberta, over 600 across Canada and more than 70 distinct languages spoken and many other dialects. Note that Indigenous communities pre-date modern geo-political borders.
