Alongside Ent- (non-earthly delights) at Frieze Sculpture 2024, Libby Heaney unveils her latest unique print, Ent-er the quantum cyborg (2024). Digitally printed on a mirrored gold Dibond aluminium panel – a material the artist has utilised since 2022 – the work layers quantum-edited textures with fragments of the animated AR experience, and images of the Q-borg itself. 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 with cutting-edge technologies. In doing so she seeks to entangle interior landscapes with the impact of the exterior realm, asking big philosophical questions while remaining intimate, human 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). Her first artistic monograph was recently published by Hatje Cantz. Heaney’s project Ent- won the Lumen Prize and the Falling Walls Art-Science Prize (both 2022) and she was awarded the 2022 Mozilla Foundation Creative Media Award. Heaney has been the recipient of numerous Arts Council England grants, completed a residency at Somerset House Studios, London, and is in major private collections including Zabludowicz Collection and 0xCollection. Heaney 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. She also holds a MA in Art and Science from Central St. Martins, London.
