Lady Chatterley's Tinderbot (2016)
查泰萊夫人的Tinder機器人 (2016)
As well as quantum computing, Heaney’s practice incorporates AI, CGI and VR technology, using each tool critically to investigate how and who they empower and disempower. The resulting moving image works, performances and interactive experiences, hold multiple dichotomies being both analog and digital, spectacle and interrogation and concerning both nature and technology, revealing a web of often overlooked relations.
藝術家除了運用量子計算,她的實踐中也包括了人工智能 (AI)、電腦合成圖像以及虛擬實景等技術,她擁抱著批判性去使用每項工具並研究它們是如何被賦予及去除權力。作品中的流動影像、演繹及互動經歷包含著多種的二分法,既是數位又是類比、是奇觀又是審問,關注自然與科技,揭示了一面經常被忽視的關係圖。

Often, Heaney’s work subverts the typical uses of these technologies, examining and reshaping languages and environments, forcing her tools to work against themselves to expose their drawbacks and dangers. Frequently, inspired by Surrealism and Dadaism, Heaney’s work incorporates slimy affect, humor and nonsense to investigate relationships between humans and non-humans, capitalism and alternatives, subjectivity, truth and perceptions of reality, as well as our desires around new technologies.

她的作品通常會顛覆一些技術的普遍使用方法,通過探究重塑其語言與環境﹐迫使工具去對抗自己,旨在暴露其缺點與危機。她經常受超現實主義及達達主義所啓發,是故她的作品融合了諂媚的情感、幽默及無稽之談,以探索人與非人、資本主義與替代品、主觀、真相和現實受感,以至人們對新科技的慾望等的關係。

Libby Heaney (United Kingdom)
莉比‧希尼 (英國)

Visual artist Dr Libby Heaney has a 1st class degree in physics from Imperial College London and a PhD in Quantum Information Science from the University of Leeds. She spent 5 years working as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Oxford and the National University of Singapore, leading her own research and publishing 20 papers on topics like quantum entanglement and quantum biology. In 2008, Heaney won HSBC and the Institute of Physics Very Early Career Woman physicist of the year and a prestigious EPSRC postdoctoral fellowship.

Heaney retrained as an artist at Central St Martins, graduating in 2015, and now works at the intersection of advanced technologies, science and art. She is widely recognised as a pioneer of quantum computing and art, receiving substantial international press for her artwork Ent-, which was recently nominated for the STARTS prize, long-listed for the Lumen Prize and was a winner in the Arts & Science category of the Falling Wall Prize.

Heaney has exhibited widely in galleries and institutions in the UK and internationally, including solo exhibitions at Fiumano Clase, London (2022); arebyte Gallery, London (2022); Light Art Space, Berlin (2022); Holden Gallery, Manchester (2021); Emmanuel Church, Loughborough (2021) as part of Radar, Loughborough University’s contemporary art programme; Goethe Institut, London (2019) and at Non-Space Gallery, Aarhus (2017) as part of their EU Capital of Culture programming.

Heaney has performed in the UK and internationally, including at Sonar Festival (CCCB), Barcelona (2021) and Southbank Centre, London (2022). Heaney has received a number of awards and grants, including a Mozilla Foundation Creative Media Award (2022). She is currently a resident at Somerset House Studios, London.

視覺藝術家莉比‧希尼博士擁有倫敦帝國學院的物理學一級學位及利茲大學的量子信息科學博士學位。她花了五年時間在牛津大學和新加坡國立大學做後博士研究,主導自己的研究以及出版超過二十篇論文,主題包括量子生物學。2008年她獲得滙豐銀行與物理學會頒發的年度最佳女性物理學家 (早期職涯) 奬項並獲得著名的EPSRC博士後奬學金。

她在中央聖馬丁學院接受藝術家培訓,於2015年畢業,現時的工作集中在糅合先進科技、科學與藝術的領域。她被廣泛認為是量子計算與藝術的先驅者,作品《Ent-》曾被提名STARTS奬項,獲得大量的國際媒體報導,曾入圍Lumen Prize並且在Falling Wall Prize 的藝術與科學界別獲奬。

她的作品曾廣泛於英國和多個國際畫廊及機構中展出,近年的個展包括倫敦 Fiumano Clase (2022)、倫敦 arebyte Gallery (2022)、柏林 Light Art Space (2022)、曼徹斯特Holden Gallery (2021)、拉夫堡 Emmanuel Church (2021) (作為拉夫堡大學當代藝術項目Radar的一部分)、倫敦歌德學院 (2019)、奧胡斯Non-Space Gallery (2017) (作為歐盟文化首都項目的的一部分)。

她曾於多個城市演出,包括巴塞隆拿Sonar Festtival (CCCB)(2021)、倫敦的Southbank Centre (2022)等。她也曾獲得多個奬項及資助,包括2022年的Mozilla Foundation Creative Media Award,她現時在倫敦的Somerset House Studios駐場。
