The Design Research Lab is a network of people, organisations, and non-human agents engaged at the intersection of technologies, materials, and social practices. Our aim is to design socially and ecologically sustainable tools, spaces, and knowledge that support people’s participation in a digital society – based on common principles of inclusiveness and respect for the planet. This puts the basic democratic right to take part in the digital sphere into practice. We start our research from individual lifeworlds and the needs of minoritized groups, beyond consumer majorities.
We are an interdisciplinary team of designers, researchers, tech-enthusiasts and critical thinkers from Berlin University of the Arts, German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI), Weizenbaum Institute for the Networked Society, as well as Einsteincenter Digital Future (ECDF).
As part of Berlin Science Week, visual artist Roman Lipski will outline his innovative work on “Quantum Blur”, a technique for manipulating images using quantum operations and engage in an interdisciplinary discussion with Prof. Dr. Tim Schröder (Head of the Integrated Quantum Photonics Group, HU Berlin).
Roman Lipski is a Polish born painter who has lived and worked in Berlin since 1989. Since 2019 he started working on Quantum Blur with IBM Research Europe. Roman Lipski is one of the pioneers in the domain of quantum art, in particular in using Quantum Blur, a technique for manipulating images, using quantum operations. By experimenting with technology in this way Lipski emphasizes the creative interplay of art and science, resulting in new forms of creativity and discovery.
The event ‘Daring to Explore Quantum Creativity’ is part of the virtual colloquium “Exploring Quantum Through Art and Design” by Universität der Künste Berlin (UdK) and the Goethe-Institut’s global project Studio Quantum. This live edition of the online colloquium as part of Berlin Science Week is organised in collaboration with Roman Lipski Studio.
This is an in-person event. If you would like to attend, please e-mail with the subject line: DARING TO EXPLORE QUANTUM CREATIVITY. Please note that spaces are limited.
