Pop artists. Fuzzy logic. Quantum mechanics. What do they have in common? Pop artists challenged the rubric of art, fuzzy logicians found ways to make machines think more like humans (if x, then z) than robots (it’s gonna be 0 or 1.) The great Max Planck, whose equation is where I found inspiration for my art name Wavular, started the whole QM creation when he happened to misapply a probability principle to solve what was called the “blackbody” problem. In 1900, he published the paper that introduced the world to what’s now called Planck’s constant, and which would change the way people thought about what was “true” and “untrue” about how particles behave. –DK
