What if the future spoke in quantum code?
The opening of the art exhibition Quantum Babylon invites you to see, feel, and question the next era, exclusively during Berlin Science Week at Atelier Roman Lipski.

On the occasion of the Berlin Science Week 2025, Roman Lipski opens the doors to his new studio and exhibition space in Berlin-Kreuzberg with a special presentation of Quantum Babylon — an immersive video installation accompanied by handwoven “Qarpets” based on quantum aesthetics.

At the heart of the installation is a visually striking video loop: a tower of Babel constructed with quantum algorithms, constantly growing, collapsing, and rebuilding itself in endless variations. As the stones fall, new worlds emerge inside them, mysterious terrains that the audience enters in seamless motion. The tower becomes a metaphor for both the ambition and fragility of human technological progress.

While lying on soft Qarpets made from sheep’s wool, visitors are invited to slow down and immerse themselves in a world where art and quantum computing merge. These carpets, whose patterns were generated using custom quantum algorithms, create a sensorial bridge between the digital and the tactile, between speculation and grounding.

But the true highlight of the evening awaits outside: in the courtyard of the atelier, a monumental sculpture rises, a mysterious echo of the Quantum Babylon tower itself. Silent and powerful, it seems to have stepped out of the video loop into physical reality, inviting visitors to circle it, to project their own questions and interpretations onto its enigmatic presence.

Rather than celebrating a techno-utopia or warning of dystopian futures, Quantum Babylon opens a space of reflection. It addresses the question: how can we, as humans, shape our future with creativity, ethics, and imagination, especially in the face of rapidly evolving technologies like quantum computing?
