Sebastián Duque MesaCO
Sebastián Duque Mesa is a physicist and artist whose work moves across the thresholds of quantum theory, machine systems, and embodied experience. Trained in the physics of light-matter entanglement and quantum computation, Duque Mesa is a lecturer of quantum computation and works on the scalable development of photonic quantum architectures. This technical focus is part of a broader inquiry into how emerging quantum technologies intersect with cognition and perception—their ongoing research explores how quantum technologies and cybernetic thought co-compose new modes of sensing, relating, and becoming.
Their artistic practice emerges from this same terrain, where code becomes perceptual, and computation leaks into affect. Through sound synthesis, AI, and custom electronic systems, Duque Mesa builds generative environments that reconfigure nature as a machinic intelligence—distributed, recursive, and alive. Installations and audiovisual works blur disciplinary boundaries, tracing speculative ecologies where the organic and the synthetic, the theoretical and the felt, entangle and evolve.
