10.00–11.15 AM Exhibition Tour of UVA with Petr Koubský
As an editor focusing on science and technology, Petr Koubský will delve into chaos theory and other phenomena hidden in the works of the British group United Visual Artists, showcased at the Kunsthalle Praha as part of the Signal Festival with their exhibition Strange Attractions. By exploring the thin boundary between order and chaos, the exhibition contemplates how these principles manifest in nature, the world, artistic creation, and social structures. The installation also invites viewers to reflect on the complex dynamics shaping our surrounding environment.

Visual artist and curator Marek Šilpoch will present his work and place it in the context of historical artists who have shaped his visual style. In the second part, he will focus on current trends in light art and, through examples, introduce his thesis on the potential of light and digital installations to educate society on environmental issues.

1.00–3.00 PM AI Image Warm-up with Expert Introduction
Let’s explore together the potential and limits of creative work with artificial intelligence. How can it assist in artistic creation, what should we focus on, and how do we actually communicate with AI? This workshop will connect to the newly opened exhibition by internationally acclaimed artist Chiharu Shiota, where we’ll search for captivating spots within her mesmerizing installations. Using artificial intelligence, we’ll experiment with animating static shots to create a short video, generating on tablets with the Runway app. The workshop will be led by AI experts from the educational institution Aignos.
