This series of three studies are regarded as the first artistic experiments with quantum computing (e.g. Cephalopod Aliens, 2019, was described as pioneering in Right Click Save). In each work, Heaney has written code for IBM's quantum computers and used data from the resulting quantum physical phenomena to deconstruct and make plural images; to blur images together in a particular symbiosis not possible through Newtonian physics and to uncover the first native images from within quantum entanglement itself.
These experiments may be seen as the quantum analogue of early digital computer art.
