Intercept Point is an attempt to understand quantum theories,
using binary tools. A text is sent from a sender (on the left)
to a receiver (on the right). When a viewer opens the door on
the center box, 4 LED panels freeze in one of four colors (red,
green, orange, dark). Displayed on the panels is a quantum
encoded ASCII character. The viewer has intercepted part of the
encoded message, freezing its state. As soon as a message is
frozen, the sender and receiver, aware their conversation has
been interrupted, start again from the beginning. “A cat is
penned up in a steel chamber, along with the following device
(which must be secured against direct interference by the cat):
in a Geiger counter, there is a tiny bit of radioactive
substance, so small that perhaps in the course of the hour, one
of the atoms decays, but also, with equal probability, perhaps
none; if it happens, the counter tube discharges, and through a
relay releases a hammer that shatters a small flask of
hydrocyanic acid. If one has left this
