ILO brings light festivals together to inspire one another, to foster an exchange of knowledge, to help the festivals with ideas , to search for solutions, increase networking opportunities, and keep festivals informed about issues at stake in the festival and cultural world.

Praha je neuvěřitelná! 🇨🇿

Podle World's Best Cities Report 2026 patří Praha mezi nejvlivnější města světa – tzv. urban powerhouses, které definují světovou kulturu, ekonomiku a inovace.

Co mě na tom fascinuje nejvíc? To, že Praha v tomto prestižním žebříčku stojí po boku metropolí jako Londýn, New York, Tokio či Paříž. A náš Signal Festival je zmíněn jako kulturní vlajková loď! 🤩

Popis Resonance Consultancy, že jde o město, které se neustále přetváří, aby zlepšilo kvalitu života prostřednictvím kreativity a kulturní obnovy, sedí dokonale. 

Signal Festival je toho živým důkazem – spojuje historické dědictví s digitální budoucností a proměňuje město v živý organismus světla, umění a technologie.
Je skvělé vidět, jak mezinárodní uznání pomáhá tomuto projektu, který překračuje hranice uměleckých a technologických světů, dál růst. Tleskám celému týmu za to, že tvoří něco tak jedinečného!

Podle World’s Best Cities Report 2026 patří Praha mezi 100 nejvlivnějších měst planety – mezi tzv. urban powerhouses, které formují světovou kulturu, ekonomiku i inovace. V této prestižní společnosti metropolí jako Londýn, New York, Tokio, Paříž či Singapur má i Praha svou kulturní vlajkovou loď: Signal Festival. 🌟

Stejně jako Londýn definuje Tate Modern či Camden Highline, New York MoMA nebo The Shed, Tokio teamLab Borderless a Paříž ikonické Centre Pompidou, představuje Signal Festival projekt, který dokáže proměnit celé město v živý organismus světla, umění a technologie.

Resonance Consultancy ve svém reportu popisuje nejlepší světová města jako „místa, která se neustále přetvářejí, aby zlepšila kvalitu života prostřednictvím kreativity a kulturní obnovy“. Právě tato charakteristika vystihuje roli Signal Festivalu naprosto přesně. Propojuje historické dědictví Prahy s její digitální budoucností, posiluje městskou identitu a přispívá k současnému placemakingu stejně výrazně jako přední světové kulturní instituce.

Tohle mezinárodní uznání je možné jen díky vám. A taky díky vaší podpoře může Praha stát po boku světových kulturních center a Signal Festival se může dál rozvíjet jako projekt, který překračuje hranice uměleckých i technologických světů. ♥️

Tahle zmínka ve Flauntu nás fakt potěšila. Není to magazín, který píše o každém. Sledují věci, které něco posouvají. A když tam skončí Signal, víš, že to začíná rezonovat i mimo naši scénu.

Líbí se mi, jak popisují Prahu — město vrstev, historie, starých forem. A do toho digitální umění, světlo, technologie. Přesně ten střet, ve kterém Signal Festival i Signal Space žijí. Je fajn vidět, že to někdo zvenku čte stejně a chápe, proč to děláme.

This Flaunt feature made me genuinely happy. They don’t write about just anything. They pick projects that push things forward. Seeing Signal there means it’s starting to land beyond our usual circle.

I like how they describe Prague — a city of layers, history, old structures everywhere. And into that, digital art, light, tech. That collision is exactly where Signal Festival and Signal Space operate. Feels good to see someone from the outside understand it for what it is.

Signal Festival, Prague 2025: Review - FAULT Magazine

We’re incredibly proud to share this. WIRED — one of the world’s most influential magazines on technology and culture — has just published a feature on Signal Festival and Signal Space.

This means a lot.
It’s a signal (pun intended) that Czech digital and light art has a real global voice.
And that what we’re building in Prague — from transforming the city’s streets to opening its first permanent digital art gallery — resonates far beyond our borders.

A huge thank you to everyone who creates, supports, and visits Signal.
This is yours too. Link to the article below

Jsme nesmírně pyšní. WIRED, jeden z nejvlivnějších světových magazínů o technologiích a kultuře, publikoval rozsáhlý článek o Signal Festivalu a Signal Space.

Je to moment, který pro nás hodně znamená. Potvrzení, že česká digitální a světelná scéna má světový přesah. Že naše práce – od festivalu v ulicích Prahy až po otevření první stálé digitální galerie v centru města – rezonuje i za hranicemi.

Děkujeme všem, kteří Signal tvoří, podporují, navštěvují. Tenhle úspěch je společný.

Signal Space je letos součástí Korzo Národní ve spolupráci s Díky, že můžem ✌️🇨🇿

It was a real pleasure to host such an inspiring and energetic gathering during Signal Festival. These three days truly showed how powerful cross-border collaboration can be — ideas flowing, partnerships forming, and a shared vision for the future of digital art in Europe taking shape.

Huge thanks to Institut français de Prague, Réseau HACNUM, and everyone who brought their creativity and energy to Prague. Let’s keep this momentum alive.

TAH — Centre for Innovations in Technology, Art and Humanities

At TAH, we unite artists, scientists and other creative thinkers from academia, industry, non-profit sectors, and beyond, all dedicated to merging cutting-edge technology with the arts to address societal challenges and enhance the creative economy. Stay tuned for regular updates on our projects, upcoming events, and partnership opportunities.

Founder, Chairman of the Committee

Creative Industries Policy and Evidence Centre

In 2019, I became a member of the Global Creative Economy Council at the Policy and Evidence Center (PEC), convened by The British Council. The Council share international creative economy policy intelligence and research opportunities and acts as critical friends in reviewing and providing an international perspective on the PEC’s activities.

Advisor, Global Creative Economy Council

Univerzita Karlova

A new mission at Charles University, one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in Europe. I was trusted by the Centre for Transfer of Knowledge and Technology to lead the Hyb4City strategic project in the Hybernska Campus. For the next few years, with a great team of people, we will dedicate ourselves to developing the third role of the university, the innovation ecosystem, the socially relevant transfer of knowledge and technology. Prague and Charles University have been melting pot for science, art, education and innovation for centuries and the 21st century will be no exception.

Head of Hyb4City - Hybernska Campus

Technology Agency of the Czech Republic

As far as my collaboration with the Technological Agency of the Czech Republic is concerned, this was probably the greatest opportunity for articulating my professional direction. I have been given enormous confidence here in setting up a system to support the social sciences, humanities and arts disciplines in applied research and innovation. Since then, it has become abundantly clear to me - and I will probably follow this to the end of my career paths - that without the innovative potential of ASSH disciplines, the societal and technological challenges we currently face cannot be met.

R&D programme designer

The Arts and Theatre Institute Prague

I was a member of a research team dedicated to mapping and developing creative and cultural industries and creative cities. It was a great opportunity for me to do research work on CCI as well as to get a detailed knowledge of Czech cultural and creative industries.

Member of the research team - creative industries & cities

Museum of Musical Instruments in Leipzig

Knowing the work environment of such an important museum as the Museum of Musical Instruments in Leipzig was another great experience that I greatly appreciate. Marketing, PR, international relations, music education, excursions, daily contact with musical instrument restorers etc .. helped me to learn about the day-to-day work of the museum. I`ve met a number of great professionals, headed by the then museum director Mrs. Eszter Fontana.

Museums Educator and Guide

Fraunhofer MOEZ

Here I began to enrich my world of art and culture with a world of research and innovation. Working in the innovative transfer systems section, with great colleagues from all over the world led by Steffen Preissler, I first encountered expressions such as academic and application spheres and their apparently never-ending endeavour to bring them closer to each other. Here I also heard about the creative economy for the first time, so I didn't have to make a thick line behind my former life as I originally thought.

Research assistant

Free Lancer

At the beginning of my professional life, I learned more about theatre, film, and the music industry since I worked as an actor, singer, and music teacher. I know personally, what the artist's life is about and I try to understand, how to promote entrepreneurship, innovation and inclusion in cultural and creative industries for socio-economic prosperity.

Actor / Singer / Music teacher

Embassy of the Czech Republic in Berlin

Born in the Czech Republic near the German border, I am close to both cultures. Since then, I have remained a big supporter of the development of relations between the two countries on science and innovation.

Czech-German diplomatic relations - internship

Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology in Berlin

Perhaps one of my greatest surprises: I was admitted to the Federal German Ministry! Another chance to build on my past life of an artist and engage in creative industries in a professional way.

Cultural and creative industries & ICT - Internship

Technology, Art, and Humanities: When these fields merge, they not only expand our problem-solving toolkit but also foster a more holistic understanding of complex issues. This isn't just about mastering individual perspectives; it's about collaboratively integrating diverse insights to innovate and create. By stepping out of our comfort zones and pooling our unique skills and knowledge, we can connect in meaningful ways to make a significant impact.
