Technology and culture, 2024

Abstract

This review essay examines an art exhibition that envisions the future infrastructure of quantum computing and the sociopolitical and aesthetic visions it might bring about. Visitors are encouraged to reflect on past concepts of computing and the transformative power of technology. The exhibit tackles the challenge that computer-based infrastructures-the infrastructure of infrastructures-poses for the historiography of computing. This review places the exhibit's perspective of quantum computing infrastructures within the broader context of computing and information history.
