This project investigates the quantum turn by examining how quantum physics reshapes philosophical worldviews and the methodological and ontological shifts emerging in the humanities and social sciences. “Quantum Planet” rethinks planetary narratives from the perspective of the particle, and explores how perceptual systems emerge at the intersections of technology, consciousness, and materiality. The initiative fosters dialogue between quantum physics research and creative work, culminating in co-created artworks and a joint exhibition within two years.

On November 15, the first workshop convened quantum physicists, philosophers, and artists to examine this unfolding shift and to chart the project’s next steps. The discussion covered key quantum phenomena as well as their historical development and philosophical implications, laying the groundwork for subsequent work.
