"Zeus"
This video sculpture by James Georgopoulos is a replication of a quantum computer (e.g. a D-Wave Systems computer) that loudly “beats” with a recording of the artists’ own heartbeat. The monolithic sculpture evokes Deep Blue, the IBM chess computer that beat Garry Kasparov in a 1996 match. There are two separate video works; on the left, thousands of images flash dramatically, on the right, a computer code spools out on the screen. The “all-seeing” Zeus becoming more and more powerful with the more human knowledge it gathers.
