Artifacts are created that refer to previous editions of CIVA as well as to the hybridization and interlinking of our shared realities through technology. They are artifacts of a future found and presented in the now, staged as objects with physical attributes but no tangible physical presence. When these artifacts are taken care of, they are veiled softly, cushioned, and thus protected and held but also constrained in form.

Under the title »Intangible Care« the third edition of the Viennese media art festival CIVA 2023 builds on the themes of the previous years. In its third and at the same time last edition, the ten-day festival offers a hybrid program of exhibitions, talks, film screenings and performances. A selection of diverse artistic and discursive positions shows a variety of strategies to face the intangibility of our phygital world and to develop contemporary forms of care and resilience.

CIVA follows up with "Intangible Care," focusing on our inner, less tangible selves - our psyche.

BONDING – BODY – MIND – CARE – HYBRID WORLD

The question of how we as a society navigate hybrid times, where the analog and the digital are equal parts of our reality and influence us and our actions, has driven us over the past three years. It has connected us with incredibly exciting artists, experts, and most importantly, our team and our audience. We have learned a lot about our current reality, we have practiced resilience, and we are looking towards an exciting future.
