We experience a world ruled by the principles of classical physics. We can feel gravity, mass, acceleration, and observe the effects of surface tension or magnetism. Yet, the substances that surround us are made from waves and particles governed by alien rules that are completely incongruous with what we perceive. Sometimes, one thing is in two places at the same time, or perhaps everywhere all the time. Some substances behave differently if you are looking at them, and when you are not. Others interact with substances that could be kilometres away, what Einstein described as "spooky action at a distance".
Quantum Technologies are a relatively new emerging field on the interactions of light and matter, such as high-precision clocks, electronic computers, Laser technologies, all digital communication technologies, medical devices such as MRI or CT Scanners, new energy supply technologies such as solar fusion or speculative technologies like teleportation.

*Today the most precise explanation of our physical world has not only triggered huge amount of New Technologies mentioned above, but has also introduced a revolutionary Quantum world view that considers the material world as a non-deterministic construct, deciphered with probability and interactivity.
In this year's digital fabrication module, we will attempt to give substance to fantastic phenomena, by creating lively physical representations of impossible formations of matter, that disobey the conventions of classical physics. Can they move backwards, and forwards through time? Do they split, duplicate or merge our everyday lives? What possibilities exist for interaction between people and such exotic formations?
Students will explore the topic with sketches, rendering and 3D printed objects and a short animation. This animation of an Impossible material-energy formation will be supported by a brief explanatory text situating it in the real world.
