An exhibition will be held at Belvedere 21 to accompany Civa – CONTEMPORARY IMMERSIVE VIRTUAL ART 2025. The exhibition title |indeterminate⟩⟨apparatus| refers to the Bra-Ket notation used in quantum mechanics to describe states and their transformations. ‘Indeterminate’ refers to the unmeasured quantum system – a state of potentiality in which nothing has yet been determined. ‘Apparatus’ refers not only to the measuring instrument, but also to the complex structure of the observer, the observed and the conditions of their encounter. The apparatus extends beyond the laboratory and encompasses structures that determine what is considered knowable and visible: institutions, bodies, discourses, and power relations. |indeterminate⟩⟨apparatus| asks how a quantum worldview can be developed that encompasses a grammar of the non-binary, allows for indeterminacy, and reconfigures the apparatuses through which reality is created. Here, indeterminacy appears not as a limit of knowledge, but as a constitutive prerequisite of reality. Either/or is replaced by both/and.
Artists in the exhibition: Black Quantum Futurism, Alice Bucknell, Libby Heaney, Natalie Paneng, Mike Rijnierse
