Agustina Woodgate - More Heat Than Light
More Heat Than Light is Argentinian artist Agustina Woodgate's first solo exhibition in the Netherlands. From September, her sculptural and conceptual practice can be seen at Stroom Den Haag in a number of new and existing works.
Quantum Communications
With More Heat Than Light, Woodgate focuses on quantum communication; the future technology that applies quantum physics to the field of communication. And the Netherlands plays a major role in that development. Last September, for example, the longest internet connection (26 kilometres) was established via quantum technology between Delft and The Hague.
The exhibition at Stroom runs parallel to Woodgate's in-depth research with scientific partners including QuTech / TU Delft and Leiden University. By translating the research into sculptural installations, Woodgate makes the digital infrastructure tangible and tangible.
