Exceptional Point is a light installation based on quantum optics. It is the continuation of the research of connecting the human scale to the quantum scale. An exceptional point, in physics, is a term that denotes the moment at which a system begins to manifest properties that were not present until recently. It is a transition from a characteristic, base state to an exotic state, a crossing into up to now unknown, sensitive balance between phases, characteristics that did not exist, but subsequently appeared. Realized with the support of CALT Centre for Advanced Laser Techniques, Institute of Physics, Zagreb More info: http://sivazona.hr/events/izuzetna-tocka Mez Breeze: Humidcity 3rd - 31st June 2024 Wi-Fi gallery grey) (area, Trg sv. Marka, Korčula Curators: Darko Fritz and Format C Humidcity is a digital narrative inspired by Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities. The work creates a mosaic of interactive storytelling that riffs on an extract from Calvino’s Invisible Cities via the distinctive Mezangelle style that merges poetic expression with elements of programming code and internet linguistics. Incorporating Mezangelle invites the reader to delve into the text, unravel its complexities, and experience an imagined city in a manner that blurs the line between digital and more traditional storytelling techniques. The exhibition can be accessed through personal mobile devices at Korčula’s main square. More info: http://sivazona.hr/events/humidcity Critical Tourism until September 15, 2024.

Critical tourism is aimed at modelling a critical discourse that challenges the commercial strive for mono-economy of tourism in Croatia and elsewhere, and its consequences on cultural, social and spatial development. The exhibition represents a selection of works of artists who critically thematise tourism in general through artistic interpretations of said topic, using them as tools for commenting and criticising the sociocultural and political-economic practices while putting emphasis on and directing the view towards the ethics, poetics, and policies of space. As case studies, its methodologies can be applied to similar tourist locations/destinations all over the world.
