The artistic research ‘Simple-Intricate’ seeks to speculate on a way of communication that occurs at the fundamental level of our universe. The exploration is inspired by one of the principles of quantum mechanics — quantum entanglement. Quantum entanglement is a physical phenomenon in which two particles stay in strong correlation with each other. Once they get entangled, the particles cannot be described independently of each other. Even if they find themselves at a huge distance, the changes of one particle immediately influence the other particle. This way of micro-level communication that happens faster than the speed of light inspired the creation of a sonic environment based on this principle.
The research was possible because of the support of Stroom Den Haag.

Tatiana Kolganova was born in Russia and currently lives and works in The Hague, The Netherlands. Tatiana has an education in the fields of ArtScience and Fine art and Design with the focus on artistic research. She works with a variety of media including performance, installation, video and sound. Her research-based practice focuses on the human-nature relationship and the perception of reality as a conceptual framework. Often inspired by science, the artist explores different perspectives of seeing reality through theoretical investigation and experiments. In her works, Tatiana plays on the border between speculation and experience.
Giuliano Anzani (IT/NL) is a sound designer and developer based in The Hague. He studied Electronic Music at the “G. Verdi” Conservatoire of Como (IT) and at the Institute of Sonology in The Hague (NL). His practice is focused on the development of generative environments and digital interfaces for live electronics and installation. By combining stochastic processes and improvisation, he aspires to explore new musical vocabularies and interactions.
Marcus Graf (1974, NL) /BA Music Technology, MA ArtScience/ is working in the fields of media design, composition and human-computer interaction. He has worked with artists like Gabey Tjon-A-Tham, Floris Kaaijk and Mischa Daams on the development of hard- and software-technologies in the artistic domain. Marcus teaches and coaches students in the development of digital prototypes for the Master Digital Design at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences. With his background in music he is also active as a composer and performer for the duo Poison Lolly.
