Eufònic dives into quantum at the Biennal Ciutat i Ciència 2025
Eufònic collaborates with the 2025 City and Science Biennial as part of Dorkbot Barcelona’s Science Night: an immersion into creative quantum practices across music, technology, and (not quite) real-time experimentation
The Biennal Ciutat i Ciència 2025 focuses on quantum physics as the invisible engine of the world we inhabit. What we often imagine as an abstract universe reveals itself as the foundation of many of the technologies we use every day, and also as fertile ground to rethink culture, ideas, and creativity.
For six days, the Biennal invites exploration of how cutting-edge research transforms the way we understand reality and opens new ways to create, imagine, and connect. This dialogue between science and digital arts runs through much of the program: from Nicole L’Huillier’s performative lecture, accompanied by Mònica Bello —who participated in Eufònic PRO 2024— to Urbetrònica, Marie-France Veyrat’s installation questioning technological perfection through obsolescence.
Eufònic and quantum in action
Dorkbot Barcelona celebrates 21 years of “people doing strange things with electricity” with an edition that jumps into quantum computers and their creative possibilities. In this Nit de Ciència, presented by Antònia Folguera, researchers and artists will explore how these machines of the future can become tools for live music and generate new digital languages.
The session brings together Eduard Alarcón (UPC), Artur Garcia (BSC), Eduardo Miranda (University of Plymouth) —a pioneer in composing music with quantum computing— and Axolot (Linalab + Iván Paz), who will close the night with a quantum live coding performance. A gathering where bits and qubits intertwine and real time slightly dissolves, opening a speculative and fascinating space.
Eufònic’s quantum path
At Eufònic, we have been exploring quantum as a creative tool. At Eufònic PRO 2025, Eduard Alarcón and Antònia Folguera opened windows to the future, showing how quantum computers can become instruments of creation and spark new ways of thinking about digital art. At BotCamp 2025, we took it one step further: live music with quantum computing, improvisation, and real-time experimentation.
The Biennal continues this thread: exploring what happens when technology and creativity collide and transform each other in front of the audience.
And Eufònic PRO continues!
