Projects
Playing God
Martin Macko
When granted absolute power, should one intervene or remain silent? This interactive simulation places the observer in the role of a god overseeing a small world of competing factions. The factions act autonomously, and respond to divine messages and interventions—accepting, resisting, or exploiting them.
Traces of Sound
Adrian Bednařík
A real-time audiovisual system connecting algorithmic music, MIDI data, and generative graphics. The installation works with sound as spatial and temporal material. MIDI inputs generate visual structures that arise, transform, and disappear. The project is structured into three separate pages, each exploring a different way in which sound can be translated into image, movement, and rhythm. On the first page, visitors can also interact with the work themselves using MIDI keys.
Colour of Emotion
Tereza Jedličková
Contrary to popular belief, a chameleon does not change its colour based on its surroundings, rather on its feelings.
We are all a little like the chameleon, our feelings radiate from within us too. And if you let them loose, you may see your true colours.
Just pour your emotion onto the camera and see.
Your Loss
Branislav Palúch
In this neural cellular automaton playground, you can try to tweak the loss function in pursuit of striking patterns, but beware - these cells will try to game your loss. Maybe just let them amuse you with intricate shapes arisen from random weights initialization.
Uncharted Lands
Hana Forgáčová
Have you ever looked at a map and wished you could create a map of your own? Have you ever dreamed of a fantasy land, where you get to draw the continents and name all the places? With this interactive map creator, you get try your hand at being a cartographer. Unleash your imagination and chart lands that only exist in your mind.
Glow Up
Mário Hatalčík
A self-hosted web application masquerades as a "Glow up studio", inviting users to digitally enhance their appearance. Instead of idealized beauty, the application reveals a startling transformation: a personalized, high-fidelity Shrek-ified portrait. This project uses Stable Diffusion 1.5, enhanced by ControlNets for pose accuracy and the promise of Textual Inversion for stylistic fidelity. It explores the digital promise of self-improvement only to subvert it with a humorous, yet unsettling, reflection on self-image.
Don't forget to breathe
Timotej Bučka
An app for calming the mind with the help of breathing. Using symmetry, it creates a mesmerizing kaleidoscopic visual experience that accompanies each inhalation and exhalation. Choose a breathing method, a pattern of your choice, and let your breath do the rest.
Choice of Words
Ivan Kushpel
Every person is just a little bit poetic. Even if you might not feel that way about yourself, you can dream, you can create, too! Blackout poetry lowers the initial barrier of entry — you don't even need to come up with words, just choose the ones that sound best.
Explore this poetic nature in yourself, and in others.
Coral Wave Simulator
Chuu Myat Thwe Oo
Users create dynamic coral formations through real-time particle physics, with particles falling, stacking, and swaying in simulated water currents. The system features 10 color patterns, 8 solid colors, wind interaction, and atmospheric underwater lighting effects. Combining procedural generation with responsive physics, it transforms mouse movements into evolving organic structures, blending creative coding with engaging visual art.
Walk through Palestine
Michal Husár
Take a walk through Palestine and see the history with your own eyes as the years fly by, the changing borders, and the people forced out of their homes, still hoping for their return. Be lucky enough to experience ethnic cleansing only through virtual reality, and hopefully take this experience to your heart.
Dog's Watching You
Adam Meszároš
Your privacy is obsolete. "Dog's watching you" exposes the ruthless gaze of algorithmic surveillance. Channeling a Watch Dogs-inspired dystopia, this installation scans your face to extract a fabricated truth: your social credit, criminal potential, and hidden deviance. It judges instantly and without mercy. Step forward to see your calculated worth, but be warned: you may be able to stop it now, but soon, there will be no place to hide.
Midnight Sun
Ladislav Hano
My work tries to bring a little sunshine into these dark days. Become the Light that awakens life around you, but be careful, otherwise you may become its downfall.
Whether you let the plants grow into an unrecognizable jungle or the whole garden turns to ashes, I believe my work will warm you up.
Housing rescue
Matúš Tangelmajer
Witness a miraculous cascade of flats falling from the sky, an absurd solution to the housing crisis. Take the role of a god’s hand, stacking the apartments to optimize space in a world of never-ending demand for homes. The work satirizes quick fixes and our futile attempts to organize the chaos of housing.
Acoustic Gravity
Chris Boháč
Two invisible voice-controlled circles create a field of particles that represent passersby in a shared public space. At normal conversation volume, voices act as social gravity, drawing the crowd inward. When shouting exceeds a certain threshold, the field turns into a repulsive force, disrupting comfort and dispersing people. The brightness of the particles reflects the overall volume, while the hue tracks the sharpest tone, revealing the emotional color of the speech and the voice that dominates the room.
A world of our words
Liam Mcauliffe
Our words, no matter how small, have rippling effects on others. This piece seeks to show that by generating a canvas purely through the words spoken into it. Words will dynamically move throughout the scene, causing after effects that mingle with others. The size and speed of these words are dynamic. With larger, angrier words and sounds having the largest and longest lasting impacts of all.
VinylVision
Michaela Lodňanová
A 90s-inspired mixing playground where glowing particles pulse to classic beats and gesture controls. Looming vinyl decks and neon grids load instantly, inviting players to blend echo, reverb, pitch, and filters just by moving their hands—feel scratches in the air, drop filters with a pinch, and watch the scene react like a retro deck come alive.
