This masterclass will take you through Armstrong\u2019s practice-based research methodologies, and endeavour to explore how the field of quantum communications is understood through broader histories of science, technology, belief systems and culture – tracing the entanglements of bodies, machines, and knowledge systems to create what Armstrong calls the Quantum Imaginary. Through this research and practice framework, Armstrong parafictions a techno-feminist horizon, using digital processes to conjure imagined phenomena that might help us resist technocracy and emerging forms of techno-feudalism. This masterclass is part of a series run by the Centre for Creative Technologies at University of Galway. Further information about the series can be found at: https:\/\/buff.ly\/oJKIuoR About Nadia Nadia J. Armstrong is a visual artist and practice-based PhD fellow with NCAD and CONNECT, Research Ireland\u2019s Centre for Future Networks and Communications. Her current artistic research harnesses the socio-technical imaginary to analyse systems of knowledge in the field of quantum communications. Armstrong\u2019s installations act as interfaces to alternative realities, enveloping audiences in emancipatory parafictions that deconstruct appearances of \u201cnatural order.\u201d She creates XR environments through which esoteric forms of knowledge become rituals for contemporary survival. Armstrong\u2019s newest work GIRLHERO (2025) was commissioned by the Luan Gallery, Athlone for their exhibition SYSTEM ARMING curated by Aoife Banks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The exhibition runs till November 16th.
