CIVA |INDETERMINATE⟩⟨APPARATUS|
Meeting point: Foyer
3:00 PM
Eva Fischer will guide visitors through the exhibition, where artistic works developed in close dialogue with science invite us to immerse ourselves in the world of quantum phenomena. Manuel Radde  and Philipp Doringer  will explain the graphic design and visual realization of the exhibition’s quantum focus in the catalogue.

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.
