Digital Art Pioneer Nancy Burson Collapses the Border Between Mysticism and Quantum Physics
At first glance, Nancy Burson’s “Quantum Entanglement” paintings appear simply as white dots washing over black canvases in clusters and waves. Some dots resemble pairs of eyes; others appear as overlapping roundish figures. But when viewed as the 78-year-old artist intends—through a phone camera—the forms appear to jitter like static. Faint washes of color and read more
