Faig Ahmed: ‘The Attention’ — Quantum Physics and Azerbaijani Carpet Weaving Collapse Into One

Faig Ahmed’s solo presentation at the 61st Venice Biennale spreads across seven rooms at Campo della Tana — a maze where machine-printed and hand-woven carpets melt, knot, and spill through the architecture while a quantum random number generator translates visitor presence into an evolving on-screen language. The work draws a straight line between 15th-century Hurufi mystic tradition and John Wheeler’s ‘it from bit’ information theory, arguing that consciousness, craft, and physics all orbit the same question.
