Libby Heaney recently unveiled her latest unique print, Ent-er the quantum cyborg (2024) to accompany her commission for Frieze Sculpture London 2024, Ent- (non-earthly delights). Digitally printed on a mirrored gold Dibond aluminium panel – a material the artist has utilised since 2022 – the work layers quantumedited textures with fragments of an animated AR experience, and images of what the artist terms the ‘Q-borg'. The amalgamation of bodies combines queered references to sculptural depictions from antiquity, such as the Laocoön Group, reclining figures in Renaissance painting such as Titian’s Venus of Urbino, and the small Paleolithic figure the Venus of Willendorf. Biomorphic blue flesh oozes from the industrial chamber of a machine, and metallic tentacles, partly inspired by the gold plating of quantum computers, writhe and pulsate.
About Libby Heaney

Dr. Libby Heaney is an award winning artist with a professional background in Quantum Science. She is the first artist to work with quantum computing as a functioning artistic medium. Heaney’s practice explores quantum concepts and temporalities, combining diverse media such as moving image, glass and watercolour painting with cutting-edge technologies. In doing so she seeks to entangle interior landscapes with the impact of the exterior realm. Heaney’s work explores philosophical questions about the nature of reality while remaining intimate and embodied. Recent solo exhibitions include Quantum Soup, HEK, Basel (2024); Heartbreak and Magic, Somerset House, London (2024) and Ent-, LAS Art Foundation, Berlin (2022). In September 2024 she unveiled her debut public sculpture, Ent- (non earthly delights), as part of Frieze Sculpture 2024. In 2022 Heaney’s project Ent- won the Lumen Prize and the Falling Walls Art-Science Prize. Heaney has been the recipient of numerous Arts Council England grants and her work is in major private collections including the Zabludowicz Collection and 0xCollection. She holds a PhD in Quantum Information Science and worked as a post-doctoral researcher in quantum science at the University of Oxford and the National University of Singapore.
