The Schrodingers' Cats

The Schrodingers' Cats; pencil on paper, 15" x 20" 

The Schrodingers' Cats is one of my four drawings in the online exhibition of the Next Big Idea SMART show (Science, Math, Art), http://www.nextbigideala.com/smart2012contestpage.

The SMART virtual show is a part of the September event held in Los Alamos, NM.  The virtual show, as its site comments, "...is an international competition, with its first successful round culminating at the 2011 Next Big Idea Festival."  The jurors require artists to present a scientific or mathematical principle in an artistic medium of choice.  

Here, Professor Schrodinger opens the box to check on the status of the cat, and their quantum world splits into two!  (No animals were harmed in the production of this drawing.)
