Light Transitions

This year's edition of the Strictly Analog Festival is questioning the concept of emptiness. Imagine spatially perfectly proportionate objects, with no empty space between them. In the absence of an inter-space, they would lose its value - in the functional sense, their existence would doom to fail.

This year's Strictly Analog wants to investigate what happens in the opposite case - when the space is fully cleansed of its existing objects. Is it possible to imagine physical space only when it is defined and filled with objects, with content, by means of which information is obtained about the relationship of positions between objects and using the derived parameters to determine the characteristics of the area, such as the shape and size? Would the inter-space still exist in the absence of objects? What would happen to the void? Would space without emptiness lose its physical properties and become random, could it exceed the linear perception of reality? The SA theme calls for reflection on the emptiness, the concept, which perhaps represents the last sanctuary of the public space, collective good, and as such offers an new alternative of completely different rules, or even their absence.
