"Thrilling. I get giddy when I think about going into the lab to visit the devices. The mysterious, cantankerous, beautiful fridges. Labors of love and sweat. It's an exotic situation for me to be in rooms full of shiny instruments, working away, packed with tiny experiment boxes nestled into their complex bellies, each one with its own preterences, quirks, history, and narrative. This is going away. At least in its current iteration. What I am attracted to here now, is on the way out, fast. Blink. Gone."

On-site notebook pencil drawings of dilution refrigerators in the Yale Quantum Institute laboratories printed on aluminum sheet. The artwork shown here is part of the larger touring exhibition "The Quantum Revolution: Handcratted in New Haven which debuted in 2022, currently on display at the North Carolina A&T University Galleries, Greensboro, USA

Thank you to the Yale Quantum Institute for the financial support of this exhibit. The incredible freedom given to Florian allows him to establish ambitious programs like the Artist-in-Residence, launched in 2017, which Martha was the inaugural artist, culminating in projects like this one reaching far beyond the laboratories of Yale. This innovative project brings talented artists into the research laboratories to produce artworks in collaboration with quantum physicists. By exploring art as a medium and leveraging the intersectionality of science and the humanities, the program seeks to increase public understanding and discourse about quantum physics through the perspectives of the collaborative artists.
