Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the intersection of quantum mechanics (QM) and art, particularly through the lens of personal experiences and interpretations by a painter who identifies as a believer in QM. The scope includes conceptual exploration of how QM might influence artistic expression and perception.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Conceptual clarification
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • Cor Bakker introduces himself as a painter and a believer in quantum mechanics, suggesting that aspects of QM may be observable through the observer's choices and perceptions.
  • There is a question about the coherence of Cor's statements, with some participants expressing confusion over his terminology, particularly "not-dr(s)-HTS-scolared believer of the QM."
  • Cor asserts that QM is not something to "believe" in but rather a way of life, prompting a comparison to belief in God.
  • Participants engage in light-hearted banter regarding Cor's background and artistic pursuits, including his attempts to translate and perform classical music.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the clarity of Cor's initial statements, with some expressing confusion and others finding humor in the situation. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the specific implications of QM in art as presented by Cor.

Contextual Notes

Some participants question the clarity and coherence of the concepts being discussed, indicating potential limitations in understanding the relationship between QM and artistic expression as articulated by Cor.

Who May Find This Useful

Individuals interested in the philosophical implications of quantum mechanics, artists exploring the intersection of science and art, and those curious about personal interpretations of scientific concepts.

Hello readers,
googling to qm and painting I found the name of Egbert Rijke as painter and scientist (space-time etc.).
At this moment imposseble to mail him I introduce myself as not-dr(s)-HTS-scolared believer of the QM and...painter. I suppose that some aspects of qm / world / reality behind shall be visible for the observer making his own wheeler-choice or possible reality-free-of me?
Especially is my installations I work with observing between reality and the projections / daydream of the observer.

For Dutch speaking persons google for my question in another forum to "quantummechanica""schilderen"
Greetings, Cor Bakker, Amstelveen (near Amsterdam), Holland

Was that coherent to anyone? What is a not-dr(s)-HTS-scolared believer of the QM?

It's not supposed to be coherent. He's a Dutch artist for goodness sake! :biggrin:

QM is something you don't "believe" in. It's a way of life.

Hello Marlon, I'm not, but I like seeing Paul de Leeuw on TV and listening to classical piano music. I translate Mahler and Schubert songs in dutch, TRY to sing them, but my pianist is a (internet) midi-file, coupled to a human-partiture in which my text is typed.
When my computer with ethernetcart is coupled on my adsl-cabinet (kastje!) I try to download your movie. I try it now with my old 28kilobaut-kastje. Bye bye.
Cor Bakker.

In the sense of "believing" in God?

Dear Daniel, I did a high technical scole in electronics, and read much, but I'm not a univercity-degree scientist,
