The Civa media art festival highlights the interplay between contemporary technologies, realities, and experiences across digital, physical, and hybrid spaces. This year’s festival and exhibition will focus on the realm of quanta.

More than a century of research in quantum physics has shown that the universe is neither deterministic nor entirely comprehensible or rational. At the microscopic level, matter behaves according to principles that defy classical logic: particles can exist in multiple states simultaneously, their properties emerge through interaction, and through entanglement, they can remain connected even across light years.

Quantum research has unsettled the long-standing distinctions between subject and object, perception and matter, and Self and Other. In a world shaped by ecological crises, technological disruptions, and epistemic ruptures, these insights also find resonance in contemporary art.
