Quantum entanglement is two interacting particles. This entangled state may have countless results before being observed, but after being observed, the result becomes quantitative. Each observation may have a different quantification.

From this, I think of "there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people." In Hamlet, Shakespeare's Hamlet is emotional; it is two-sided. The drama uses different kinds of people to set off the emotional changes of the protagonist, and creates a multi-faceted image of Hamlet. Each audience has their own views and opinions. The image of Hamlet comes from the audience's different "expected horizons";

Therefore, the re-creation of artistic image is the creation of the image by the recipient mobilizing the subjective factors; Hamlet is like a special structure with many blanks and uncertainties, which gives the recipient freedom to participate; so everyone Hamlet in his eyes is not the same. This is very similar to the entangled state in quantum entanglement.

I express the concept of quantum entanglement visually. The internal logic of quantum entanglement is similar to the concept of "there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's eyes" in Hamlet drama, therefore I use this concept to express quantum entanglement. I designed books and AI interactive devices to display this project. I use the language of the program to generate a thousand pictures and arrange them on the book, so that the audience can interact with the installation and participate in this project.
