Picocosmos

Edy Fung's “Picocosmos” was honoured with a Honorary Mention at the Prix Ars Electronica 2026, category Interactive Art.

Can we dream of democratizing quantum computing and communication, much like radio technology flourished through grassroots and amateur communities 100 years ago? Picocosmos is a live-transmission sculpture that broadcasts the sound of single photons at 87.7 MHz to the universe.
