In
early March 2026, the NÉA TÉCHNI Award launched a new initiative
with the video art festival “Medium is the Message,” held atKC
Grad in Belgrade from March 3–5, with an opening event on March 2.
The NÉA TÉCHNI Video Art Festival explored how contemporary video
artists navigate today’s complex visual landscape and construct new
forms of visual storytelling.The
program was curated by Alexandra Orlova, an independent curator whose
research focuses on video art, memory, and narrative transformation.
"Circadian
Silence" invites to listen to the invisible rhythm that unfolds
within every living being — a time that breathes inside our cells,
beyond clocks, measures, and productivity. The work is composed from
genetic sequence of the CLOCK gene, one of the master regulators of
circadian rhythm — the molecular clock that governs the alternation
of day and night, wakefulness and rest. Here, silence is inhabited by
traces of the biological world: a heartbeat, a breath, a voice, frag-
ments of the body’s own memory. The piece unfolds as a continuous
respiration of sound and pause, code and body — a meditation on the
invisible cycles that sustain life.
