NCCR SPIN is organizing an outreach event called “Tinguely Entangled” aimed at the broad public, bringing together visual arts, music and quantum computing. It will take place in the Tinguely Museum in Basel on the 25th March, 2023. It is an audio-visual music performance of about 60 min duration involving music and quantum physics concepts such as entanglement and superposition. NCCR SPIN is partnering with the Basel Infinity Festival to organize the event.

The project brings together some of the intricate Tinguely machines , with a small ensemble of about a dozen musicians positioned all around the machines. The music will be especially composed for this event by the leading contemporary Latvian composer Linda Leimane, around topics that are highly suitable for being 'transformed' into musical language such as Entanglement/Superposition, Coherence, Noise/Sweetspots, Fidelity/Error correction, Echo/Reflectometry, Nanowires/Layers. Five young scientists from the NCCR SPIN will give short interventions around such topics. Visual arts will be designed by Latvian artist Arturs Punte and Italian designer Luca Scarzella. The music event will be followed by an apero where scientists from the NCCR SPIN will interact and engage with interested members of the audience and explain their research individually.
