Correlated States: Listening Between Certainties

Join Alexandre Blais and France Jobin at Mutek Forum on August 28th @13h at

at Atrium et Studio Théâtre des Grands Ballets

1435 Rue de Bleury, Montréal, QC H3A 2H7

Quantum physicist Alexandre Blais, co-creator of circuit quantum electrodynamics and scientific director at the Institut quantique of Université de Sherbrooke and sound artist France Jobin, whose decade long practice transcends quantum phenomena into spatial sonic experience, come together for a keynote that explores the resonances between quantum physics and auditory perception.

Through dialogue, Correlated States examines how concepts such as superposition, interference, entanglement, and uncertainty challenge conventional understandings of reality and reshape the ways we observe, measure, and interpret complex systems. Drawing in both scientific research and sonic practice, Blais and Jobin investigate how imperceptible processes become through measurement, attentive listening, and spatialized sound.

Presented by REPAIRE, a national peer network for independent research and experimental arts in Québec, whose mission is to bring together and support artists, collectives, and cultural workers who retain artistic and editorial control over their work, while championing creative autonomy, artistic independence, and fair compensation.

Please note: this activity will be in English, with live transcription available.

Lueurs quantiques 2026 – Dome adaptation

Part of Futurs Antérieurs – SAT 30th anniversary – June 6th 2026

France Jobin & Markus Heckmann

For its 30th anniversary, the SAT is thinking big with Futurs Antérieurs: a complete takeover of its three floors by over 30 artists, over two entire nights. A major celebration where past, present, and future overlap and are continuously rewritten. The future is already here.

Based in Montréal, France Jobin is a sound artist and composer whose minimalist practice she describes as “sound sculpture,” exploring silence, restraint, and dynamic range to create immersive sonic environments. Working between analog and digital processes, she crafts detailed sound worlds that shift perception and invite deep, focused listening. Her work has been released on influential experimental labels such as LINE, Editions Mego, ROOM40, and ATAK, often drawing inspiration from quantum physics and architectural space. Markus Heckmann is a media artist and Technical Director at Derivative (TouchDesigner), whose practice blends generative visual systems with the physical properties of light. He creates real-time abstract visual environments that respond live to sound and space, existing only in the moment of performance. Together, in Lueurs Quantiques, they explore the paradoxes of antimatter through modular sound and visuals, where collisions-like sonic textures merge with real-time visuals to create a quantum-inspired landscape.

Intrication quantique at Akousma

L’enchevêtrement, ou intrication quantique, est un phénomène d’union de deux particules en un seul et unique système au sein duquel les deux particules deviennent codépendantes quelle que soit la distance qui les sépare. Un tel état est dit « intriqué » car il existe des corrélations entre les propriétés physiques observées de ces particules distinctes. Le théorème de Bell montre que l’intrication donne lieu à des actions non locales entre les particules.

Ainsi, si par exemple deux particules O1 et O2 sont enchevêtrées, cela ne signifie pas que les deux particules ne sont pas indépendantes, même si elles sont séparées par une grande distance, et nous devons considérer {O1 + O2} comme un seul système.

J’ai créé deux albums, en les percevant comme des systèmes, au sein desquels ces albums (particules) dépendent les uns des autres, quelle que soit la distance qui les sépare. Du point de vue de mon projet, la distance ici sera exprimée par le temps. Les états et les corrélations physiques seront représentés par le fait qu’un premier album produit sera dépendant du second de sorte que les deux albums devront être écoutés simultanément, donc les deux albums seront considérés comme un seul système et faisant référence au principe de non-localité.
