The exhibition Outro e sobre si,<\/em><\/a> by artist Andr\u00e9s Rod\u00eds, opened its doors to the public this Thursday at the Gai\u00e1s Museum in the Cidade da Cultura. The exhibition is the result of the first edition of the IGFAE ArtLab Residency<\/a>, an initiative by the Xunta de Galicia and USC that was launched in 2025 to weave connections between research in particle physics and contemporary Galician creation. Outro e sobre si <\/em>can be visited free of charge on floor 1 of the Centro Gai\u00e1s Museum until 10 January 2027. <\/p>\n

The opening ceremony was attended, alongside the artist, by the Director General of Culture of the Xunta de Galicia, Anxo M. Lorenzo; USC Vice-Rector for Research and Open Science, Almudena Hospido; IGFAE Director, Carlos Salgado; and Managing Director of the Cidade da Cultura Foundation, Ana Isabel V\u00e1zquez. As part of the exhibition opening, IGFAE also hosted meeting with Andr\u00e9s Rod\u00eds, open to the general public and during which the artist talked to IGFAE research staff. The conversation aimed to continue the dialogue between the arts and sciences initiated through this residency, exploring the paths followed by the Other and on Itself project. <\/p>\n

An approach to quantum physics through artistic creation<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The proposal of Andr\u00e9s Rod\u00eds (born in Santiago de Compostela in 2000) addresses some of the principles of quantum mechanics through 25 pieces, including paintings, collages, digital prints and a video projection. These theories, developed in the 1920s, not only revolutionised particle physics but also transformed human perceptions of reality and had a profound influence on philosophy and the arts. <\/p>\n

Through his interactions with IGFAE research staff during his stay at the centre in early 2026, the artist from Santiago de Compostela explored principles such as Heisenberg\u2019s uncertainty principle and the concept of superposition, two of the pillars of quantum physics. He was also able to learn about the technologies and experiments that validate these theoretical principles, reflecting on how measurement itself affects what is observed, as well as exploring in greater depth the debate surrounding the signal-to-noise pair. Subsequently, Andr\u00e9s Rod\u00eds completed the residency at the REGA spaces of the Cidade da Cultura, where he gave shape to the pieces that make up Outro e sobre si<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\t\t
