In the words of Filipa César: “While the Punch-card technology, designed for the textile loom was fundamental for the development of the computer, the binary code is closer to the ancient act of weaving than to that of writing. Quantum Creole is an experimental documentary film of collective research into creolization, addressing its historical, ontological and cultural forces. Referring to the minimum physical entity in any interaction—quantum—the film utilizes different imaging forms to read the subversive potential of weaving as Creole code.”
Title set in a custom typeface inspired by the patterns found in the traditional weavings of the pano de pente.
Four-colour digital print on blueback paper
10 different posters / 594 × 841 mm
