Day Pass price, excl. fees & taxesQuantum physicist Alexandre Blais, co-creator of circuit quantum electrodynamics and scientific director at the Institut quantique of Université de Sherbrooke and sound artist France Jobin, whose decade long practice transcends quantum phenomena into spatial sonic experience, come together for a keynote that explores the resonances between quantum physics and auditory perception.
Through dialogue, Correlated States examines how concepts such as superposition, interference, entanglement, and uncertainty challenge conventional understandings of reality and reshape the ways we observe, measure, and interpret complex systems. Drawing in both scientific research and sonic practice, Blais and Jobin investigate how imperceptible processes become through measurement, attentive listening, and spatialized sound.
Presented by REPAIRE, a national peer network for independent research and experimental arts in Québec, whose mission is to bring together and support artists, collectives, and cultural workers who retain artistic and editorial control over their work, while championing creative autonomy, artistic independence, and fair compensation.
