Can you imagine Signal without light? We certainly can’t! That’s why we have joined forces for the third time with <\/span>ELI Beamlines<\/span><\/a>, a research centre focused on laser technologies, to celebrate the International Day of Light. The artwork <\/span>Omnia<\/i><\/strong> by Czech visual artist <\/span>Jan Hladil<\/span><\/a> will light up Kampa Park<\/strong>. It will shine on 16 and 17 May<\/strong>, from 8 p.m. to midnight<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This laser installation will commemorate the 63 years that have passed since 16 May 1960, when American physicist and engineer Theodore Maiman successfully launched the world’s first laser. Through <\/span>Omnia<\/span><\/i>, a unique fusion of nature, science and modern technology, we want to highlight the important role of light and lasers in art.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Laser beams will literally play a symphony of light in the treetops. The project reveals part of our long-term thematic vision of so-called <\/span>Ecosystems<\/span><\/i>, which we will present to visitors at the 11th Signal Festival from 12 to 15 October 2023. It marks the beginning of a three-year conceptual cycle dedicated to themes such as machine vision, big data and gaming.<\/span><\/p>\n
