For the first time in its history, Signal Festival will transform the Prague Castle District into a district full of art. Prague Castle District will become one of the two routes of the twelfth edition of the festival, which will present the best of the world of digital and creative culture from the\u00a010th to 13th of October<\/strong><\/a>. The second route will show visitors the work of renowned Czech and international artists in the\u00a0Prague city centre<\/strong>. This year’s Signal Festival will present\u00a022 installations, 7 of them exclusively in the Gallery Zone<\/strong>, for which you can already buy\u00a0tickets<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n In the packed program of this year’s festival, you can look forward to\u00a0Filip Hodas<\/strong><\/a>‘ video mapping of the\u00a0Archbishop’s Palace<\/strong>,\u00a0Ji\u0159\u00ed P\u0159\u00edhoda’s<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0monumental objects at\u00a0Sternberg Palace<\/strong>, a project by London-based studio\u00a0United Visual Artists<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0using kinetic pendulums at\u00a0Kunsthalle Prague<\/strong><\/a>, or an audiovisual projection by Italian artist\u00a0Quayola<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0at the\u00a0Centre for Architecture and Urban Planning (CAMP<\/a>)<\/strong>. Another thing to attract your attention will be The\u00a0MERCEDES-BENZ AURA<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0installation by\u00a0Monument Office & Signal Creative<\/strong>.<\/p>\n This year, Signal Festival is once again opening the\u00a0Gallery Zone<\/strong>, which offers the opportunity to experience art in a unique atmosphere. With limited capacity, this paid part of the festival brings a diverse program that you won’t see at any other time.<\/p>\n For four days, places such as the\u00a0Prague Castle Riding Hall<\/strong>\u00a0or the\u00a0Baroque Refectory of the Dominican Monastery<\/strong>\u00a0will be transformed into places where art, technology, history and present are combined.<\/p>\n Our partner institutions, such as\u00a0Kunsthalle Praha<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0Centre for Architecture and Metropolitan Planning (CAMP)<\/strong><\/a>, contribute to an unforgettable once-a-year experience, all in one ticket that reveals the flipside of Prague.<\/p>\n As part of this year’s\u00a0Gallery Zone<\/a><\/strong>, you can get carried away in the\u00a0Prague Castle Riding Hall<\/strong>\u00a0with Korean artist and professor\u00a0Seohyo<\/strong><\/a>, whose work combines inspiration from historical elements of Prague architecture with the media technologies of generative art to create a unique dynamic projection of abstract shapes reflecting the rhythm of our city. Then, in the Baroque Refectory,\u00a0Bill Fontana<\/strong>, one of the founders of sound art, will remind us of the fragility of climatic and cultural balance in his installation\u00a0Silent Echoes<\/strong><\/a>. He has transported the tones of the silent bells of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris to the icy caves of Dachstein. In total, you can look forward to\u00a07 of the 22 installations<\/strong>\u00a0in the Gallery Zone.<\/p>\n The transmedial sculpture\u00a0Audire Fluctus<\/strong><\/a>, which will be presented at this year’s edition by\u00a0Kry\u0161tof Br\u016fha<\/strong><\/a>, winner of the Jind\u0159ich Chalupeck\u00fd Prize, is on the borderline between a light object and an interactive work in the form of a data totem. Kry\u0161tof Br\u016fha developed\u00a0Spektraflux<\/strong>\u00a0with the aim of creating a physical medium that enables visual work that transcends the limits of digital media. The installation is located in the space of the\u00a0National Theatre piazza<\/strong>, a place with a high concentration of electromagnetic devices.<\/p>\n The installation was realized within the open call\u00a0Signal Calling<\/strong>\u00a0in collaboration with\u00a0PrusaLab by Prusa Research<\/strong><\/a>, Josef Pr\u016f\u0161a’s prototype workshop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For the first time in its history, Signal Festival will transform the Prague Castle District into a district full of art.
