Civa’s discursive programme extends across the entire festival days. Participants are invited to engage in collaborative discussions and reflections on the festival’s theme, |indeterminate⟩⟨apparatus|. In discussions, dialogues, and workshops, Civa is carving out space for an in-depth exploration of the quantum realm and bringing together artistic and scientific positions to help understand indeterminacy as an aesthetic, political, and speculative space. As Civa’s media partner, The Black Cube @theblack_cube enters the festival as both witness and amplifier, turning live conversations into legacy-shaping dialogues. Within a dedicated media space, the editorial team will host and record discussions with artists, curators, and scientists — tracing threads between art, society, and the imaginative architectures of quantum thinking. Focused on method, process, and the technologies that shape us, The Black Cube will weave these conversations into a living editorial project. The journey will culminate in a special co-edited collection of Dialogues at the Intersection of Quantum & Cinema. You are warmly invited to join the conversation. The Black Cube is a new editorial platform that explores how moving images are conceived, produced, and experienced — through the lens of technology. It brings together extraordinary artists and industry voices to expand the conversation around the rapidly evolving audiovisual landscape.
