Signal Festival confirms that it is a popular cultural event and an important milestone of Prague autumn, and we owe it to you!
The twelfth edition presented 17 physical art installations on the Hradčany and Centrum routes and 5 augmented reality installations in Karlín. The most popular installations were Filip Hodas’ video mapping of the Archbishop’s Palace, which was viewed by the President of the Republic , Petr Pavel and his wife, during the opening ceremony on Thursday evening. Visitors were also impressed by the SpY light installation in the South Gardens of Prague Castle and in the city centre by Cao Yuxi’s installation on Old Town Square.
In order to light up Prague with art, the City of Prague Technologies had to turn it off first, for which we would like to thank them with this newsletter!
Gallery zone in collaboration with prestigious institutions!
This year, the festival once again collaborated with leading cultural institutions and offered visitors the opportunity to see installations at prestigious venues in Prague in the Gallery Zone.
The works of prominent artists were on display in the Riding Hall of Prague Castle, in the Sternberg and Schwarzenberg Palaces managed by the National Gallery Prague, in the Kunsthalle Prague, in the Clam-Gallas Palace with a performance by the National Theatre’s Laterna magika, in the Baroque Refectory of the Dominican Monastery with an installation created in collaboration with the Ars Electronica Festival , and in the Centre for Architecture and Urban Planning (CAMP).
Monument Office & Signal Creative – MERCEDES-BENZ:AURA
A luminous effect emphasising the perfect lines of electric cars – that’s Mercedes-Benz: AURA. An installation that presents the Signal Festival’s main partner with an emphasis on electric mobility from the perspective of dynamic movement and sustainable luxury.
The creative concept of the installation was created by Václav Mlynář, his team from Monument Office studio and one of the largest domestic studios for the creation of new art and visual experiences – Signal Creative.
Mercedes-Benz has been a partner of the festival for 11 years, thank you for your long-term support!

Artists and partners are taken care of!
OREA Hotels & Resorts is a proud hotel partner of the Signal Festival. Specifically at OREA Hotel Pyramida, thanks to their support we were able to give our artists (not only) from abroad a well-deserved place to rest after the evenings spent at the festival. Among other things, like other guests and visitors, they could enjoy a themed LED drink in the OREA Hotels Pyramida and Angelo.
Our artists really praised the hotel and we would like to thank OREA Hotels & Resorts!
