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.
