Payne's work explores the intersection of human emotion and the theoretical possibilities of quantum computing. Through meticulous and deeply introspective design explorations, they create speculative scenarios that probe the potential impact of these emerging technologies on our emotional landscapes. Grounded in rigorous conceptual development and fueled by personal emotional experiences, Payne's designs offer a glimpse into hypothetical futures where technology and feeling intertwine in complex and unforeseen ways. Their process begins with introspective reflection, evolving through intricate diagrams, theoretical models, and narrative descriptions to create rich and nuanced design concepts. Informed by the rhythmic narratives and interconnected worldviews of their Barbadian heritage, Payne's work invites viewers to contemplate the transformative potential of quantum computing, not just technologically but emotionally and existentially. Their aim is not to predict the future, but to explore its potential impact on the human experience, urging critical reflection on our relationship with emerging technologies and their inherent capacity to reshape the very fabric of our emotional being.
