A Screening & Exhibition on Quantum Presence, Time, and Poetic Entanglement
Calling experimental filmmakers, poetic technologists, time-based media artists, and dreamers working across dimensions—Quantum Intimacies considers the forces that bind us beyond proximity, the echoes of presence in absence, and the paradox of being both here and elsewhere. Drawing from quantum mechanics, somatic memory, and poetic speculation, this exhibition and screening bring together works that explore relationality across distance, the fluidity of time, and the ephemeral architectures of intimacy.
Quantum Intimacies is a space where grief, longing, and love exceed their representational limits and take shape as forces in themselves. It asks not just how we touch, but how we are touched—by each other, by time, by the things we cannot see but always feel. Artists are invited to submit works that seemingly exist in multiple states at once: shifting, unfolding, and resonating across dimensions of time and space.
How do we touch across time? How does longing refract across parallel selves?
Quantum Intimacies — a multi-sensory screening and exhibition exploring presence beyond the visible. June 19–20, 2025 · Curated by Michèle Saint-Michel · Hosted by Millennium Film Workshop and Sponsored by Bad Saturn Media, Brooklyn.
What We’re Looking For
We invite submissions from artists, collectives, filmmakers, writers, and creative technologists working in time-based media. We’re especially drawn to interdisciplinary, experimental work that engages with quantum themes, including but not limited to:
- Non-Local Love & Entanglement: Long-distance intimacy, ancestral memory, or digital remnants of lost connections where time and space collapse.
- The Poetics of Probability: Embracing randomness, uncertainty, and intention in quantum states and artistic creation.
- Superposition & Multitemporality: Films that shift with each screening, fragmented narratives, or experiences shaped by the viewer.
- Somatic Frequencies & Resonance: Interactive, body-responsive works using sound, heartbeats, or immersive environments to explore presence.
