Quantum Man<br />
Physics finds artistic<br />
expression in the works<br />
of Julian Voss-Andreae<br />
There’s an odd way about the Quantum Man.<br />
On first approach, he appears a man of substance,<br />
hunched, deliberate and pushing forward in<br />
a headwind. A moment later, he inexplicably<br />
vanishes—taking with him the basic premises of<br />
reality. Two steps more, and he reappears.<br />
For quantum physician-turned-artist Julian<br />
voss-Andreae, Quantum Man is but one of many<br />
creations that combines the unlikely bedfellows of<br />
physics and art. “This strong dependence on<br />
the point of view is intriguing in this context,<br />
because it reflects a central aspect of quantum<br />
physics," says voss-Andreae. "‘Reality’ is not<br />
something that is out there, independent of us, and<br />
ultimately can't be separated from its observer.<br />
