Documentary Projects Shortlist

Just as Prometheus bestowed fire upon humanity, knowledge grows with every achievement scientists bring forth. As titans of the new age, they wield wisdom and power. With rapid developments in quantum computing, various implications for the future arise. Among those are benefits and uncertainties. However, these are only known to a select few. Therefore, alienation thrives between those who seek answers and the individuals that fail to comprehend their questions. Our world continues to be driven to a state in which science blurs the boundaries of reality. This photographic series explores the developments and implications of quantum computing. By using a selection of staged,documentary and still life pictures it exposes various intertwining narratives of science, simulation and hidden power structures.
