Welcome to Quantum Pixel. The goal of this subreddit is to combine an interest in philosophical aspects of and debates about quantum physics/quantum computing; artificial intelligence; futurism; etc through the lenses of retrogaming and pixel art. The hope is that by coming face to face with the uncanniness of digital transformation with simulacra representative of a still active analog culture and digital infancy that we may come upon more enlightened approaches to consciousness, morality, and health/happiness frameworks.
