Signal Festival<\/a> and PrusaLab, Josef Pr\u016f\u0161a’s prototype workshop, jointly announce an open call for the creation of an artwork<\/strong> for the 12th edition of Signal Festival, which will take place from 10 to 13 October 2024.The aim of the call is to design and realise an installation that will be included in the main programme of the Signal Festival 2024<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For whom the call is addressed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The call is open to Czech authors or authors who have been active in the Czech and Slovak Republics for a long time. Professionals from both creative and technical fields can apply. We welcome all architects, designers, programmers, artists or technical engineers. We are also open to students in all of the above fields. It is possible to apply as an individual or as a group. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assignment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

By artwork we mean an object installation<\/strong> that creatively uses light<\/strong> as an important technological component of the work. Projects that present contemporary advanced technologies or reflect contemporary scientific concepts and theories in a novel way are welcome. Given the festival’s location in the evening city, it is desirable that light remains present in the work. The way in which the capacity of the PrusaLab creative workshop is used is important for the evaluation of the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspiration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you’re not sure what to start with, here are some initial concepts to get you started.
The twelfth edition of the Signal Festival continues the three-year project under the overarching theme of Ecosystems<\/strong>. Nature, technology, society, culture, personal space – all these combine to form the ecosystems in which we live, seeking traces of joy, beauty and excitement in new discoveries, as well as solutions to critical questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year’s programme is called Ecosystems II: Quest<\/strong>. Quest will have four parts: Machinery Missionaries<\/strong>, Deep Travellers<\/strong>, Into the Universe<\/strong> and Play<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
