Quantum Physicist Turned Artist Creates Innovative “Disappearing” Sculptures
Sculptor Julian Voss-Andreae hasn’t always been a practicing artist. Before moving to the United States in 2001, to pursue a BFA in sculpture, he was a quantum physicist—first at the Freie University Berlin and the University of Edinburgh, and later at the University of Vienna. While there, he and his team conducted a seminal experiment now commonly featured in many physics textbooks, demonstrating the quantum behavior for “buckyball” particles.
