Applied Quantum Mechanics

Lozano once wrote that she was married to art but, as she put it, science was her mistress.123 The latter enforced an absolute commitment to precisely observed empirical truth – reality, objective or otherwise – while the former unleashed the transformational power of her singularly excessive intentionality to alter that reality, subjectively or otherwise. So she merged them on a microscopic level in the making of her highly artificial life; her art aspired to be a modern everyday science, an intelligent self-regulating technology for the high-info future. ‘Science’ and ‘art’ became equated to such an extent that Lozano started using the terms interchangeably.124 Our heuristic he(u)ro was after discovery.

EVERYTHING ‘IMPORTANT’ I SEEM TO HAVE DISCOVERED EXACTLY AS A SCIENTIST USES THE METHOD OF OBSERVATION AND EXPERIMENTATION. […] THE PROCESS IS SELF-PERPETUATING, THAT IS, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AN ‘END’.125
