Exceptional Point (exhibition Korčula)
June 3rd at 8:00 p.m. opening of the exhibition and a talk with the artist
Open: Monday - Saturday 9 - 21 h
Sunday: 3 - 9 p.m
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.
Artist statement:
'Questions of the appearance and the characteristics of the system are increasingly important, and are part of our everyday life - constant fluctuations without a stable form, sudden changes without a fixed state.
At the moment when formal properties are lost and replaced on demand, what stays characteristic? What is authentic, when what we see is no longer what it is?'
Realized with the support of CALT Centre for Advanced Laser Techniques, Institute of Physics, Zagreb

Using different media, such as robotic immersive environments, quantum optics, sound installations, images/drawings and texts, he invites the audience to engage, explore, and question the relationship between science and art. Hiršl is this year's recipient of the ARTeCHÓ (Art, Economy & Technology) scholarship for the quantum technology research project. In 2012, he was nominated for the Radoslav Putar Award for the best Croatian artist under the age of 35. He is the recipient of scholarships HDLU AIR 2023 (Leipzig), Crossing Parallels 2021 (Delft), Bildraum Studio 2021 (Vienna), DordtYart Artists in Residence 2015 (Dordrecht), TRIBE Residency 2013 (Istanbul, Prague and Ljubljana) and Kulturkontakt Artists in Residence 2012 (Vienna).
