This sculpture was designed by Antony Gormleyand and completed in 1999.

The steel sections were arranged using a computer model with a random walk algorithm starting from points on the surface of an enlarged figure based on Gormley's body that forms a residual outline at the centre of the sculpture.

It is part of The Line, a series of public sculptures that follow the Greenwich Meridian, through the London Boroughs of Greenwich, Tower Hamlets and Newham.

This monumental sculpture by British artist Antony Gormley was commissioned for the North Meadow Sculpture Project in celebration of the millennium.  Quantum Cloud is composed of a central group of 325 extended tetrahedral sections which are connected to over 3,500 of the same elements extending into space. Evoking the quantum age, and suggesting an unstable relation between energy and mass, it questions whether the body is produced by the field or the field by the body. Visually, it was inspired by conversations between Gormley and quantum physicist Basil Hiley. In its totality, it questions the relationship of the self to the world and foregrounds the viewer’s influence on the viewed – a feature both of quantum physics and art.

Commissioned as part of the millennium celebrations by The New Millennium Experience Company
