Abstract of the Keynote: “Constellation Thinking: How Cultural Imagination Can Shape Our AI Future”

AI systems may be built by engineers, but they are used by people, and through this use, they entwine with and become a part of our culture.  But what happens when the pace of technological change starts to move faster than our values, beliefs, relationships and indeed our imaginations can adapt?   Increasing calls for caution in the development toward a general AI that can meet or surpass human intelligence are met with deafness on the part of technology companies that compete to be the first to reach this goal, even as technological risks – to mental health, community ties, critical systems – seems more urgent than ever.  To break through this stalemate, we need to understand AI as a cultural project rather than just a basis for consumer products, for which we can draw on the not just the complex history of entanglement between technologies and power, but also our shifting imaginaries of what is happening, and what might yet happen, in a world increasing shaped by tools that do not so much do our bidding as bid our doing.

Echoes of Becoming

Description: “Echoes of Becoming” is a meditation on human–AI co-creation, where every signal we release returns as a mirror, asking us to remember the essence that no algorithm can replace. It unfolds in the constant tension of reflection and exposure — an iterative resonance where becoming is inseparable from being.

Performance Details: This collaborative piece explores the shifting relationship between humans and algorithms through an immersive audiovisual meditation. Drawing on Hámošová’s hands-on practice of co-creating with AI and Rusnák’s deep understanding of technology and digital systems, it reflects on how creative agency emerges in dialogue with machines. Projected onto the Prague Planetarium’s 360° LED dome, the work creates a contemplative space where audiences encounter the iterative mirroring between human expression and artificial intelligence — an unfolding process that asks what it means to remain human in the age of intelligent tools.

Format: 10-minute immersive projection in 360° LED dome environment
Theme: Human-AI co-creation and creative agency
Focus: Technology, creativity, and embodiment

UMPRUM

Design and Digital Technologies Studio

About the Project: Three audiovisual works by students from the Design and Digital Technologies studio at UMPRUM (The Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague) led by Jan Netušil and Jiří Hölzel, prepared for the new LED dome technology of the Prague Planetarium, are framed by the theme Micro / Macro Cosmos — the movement between intimate scale and cosmic horizon. Two were created as part of semester collaboration with the Planetarium; Marek Bulíř’s diploma work was included in the selection for its natural connection to the theme.

The common denominator is the presence of artificial intelligence — as a storytelling partner, subject of empathy, and voice commenting on the transformation of civilizations. The projects examine our place between the earthly and cosmic, without pathos and with emphasis on contemporary ethical questions of technology.

Awaiting Sunrise

Kristýna Marková, Jana Mýtinová

The space race in the last century has given rise to many modern technologies that make our lives easier every day. In the wake of these programmes, widespread protests have arisen. In one of his speeches, Martin Luther King spoke of the inequality and absurdity in the distribution of American finances; for example, the multi-billion dollar disparity between the cost of space missions and the investment in the American people.

Do these advanced technologies give us a sense that we can equal the gods? Are they really improving our lives, or are they harming us? We are pushing ourselves on all sides beyond human limits while the solid ground beneath our feet crumbles every day. But we can’t control the story on a large scale from our role as observer.

In the course of the creation process, we also reflected on the often unfortunate fate of expensive space technology; we found ourselves deeply empathetic towards it. We also tried to reflect on the fact that once they complete their task, they are doomed to exist in infinity. We began to put human qualities and feelings into them, such as love, fear and pain. For the final farewell to IKARUS 2076, which we witness in the video, we used the ancient epic fable of Icarus and made it sound like an ode to death that the satellite itself produced from its own code.

Easter Egg

Alexandra Verzier

The 360° video was conceived after reflecting on the planetarium as a virtual sky. The sky is a space charged with symbolism, mysticism, and meditation. To be under a sky that can be shaped is akin to be a character in a world someone else designed with a destiny already written. This research led to the following project, where the viewer is thrown in a place that resembles a deserted map in a game – an easter egg, an error of design or an inside joke of the creator. There, a NPC was forgotten behind, only inhabitant of a place not intended for her.

Remember I Was Carbohydrate

Marek Bulíř

Remember I Was Carbohydrate is an immersive audiovisual experience by Marek Bulíř, created in Unreal Engine. The project addresses the theme of posthumanism and intertwines it with contemporary ecological and philosophical questions, reflecting on anthropocentrism and its impact on the climate crisis.

The viewer is transported into an environment where stones, dead trees, cosmic beings, and molecules share their stories. Through this immersion, one is invited to step away from everyday reality and reconsider their relationship with the planet.

Originally conceived as an interactive format, the work has been adapted into a film version for the planetarium. In doing so, it contributes to the discussion on the potential of digital media to convey socially relevant themes, and demonstrates how new forms of audiovisual creation can foster broader cultural and environmental awareness.

Format: Three audiovisual works for 360° LED dome environment
Studio: Design and Digital Technologies, UMPRUM
Led by: Jan Netušil, Jiří Hölzel
Theme: AI as storytelling partner and contemporary ethical questions of technology

Poetry in Motion: Human-AI Creative Dialogue

Description:
A unique live performance exploring the creative dialogue between artificial intelligence and human artistry. Using the EduPo poetry generation system, AI creates original Czech poetry. Performer Sofie Filippi then brings these algorithmically generated verses to life through voice, movement, and dance, transforming computational output into embodied human expression.

The EduPo project represents collaboration across four research teams: The ÚFAL team (led by Rudolf Rosa) is responsible for the computational linguistic dimension, developing the software and neural models. The Institute of Czech Literature, Czech Academy of Sciences team (led by Karel Piorecký) provides the literary scholarly dimension, creating the poetry corpus and selecting appropriate examples. The Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava team (led by Zuzana Husárová) contributes the artistic dimension, implementing texts into intermedial environments. The Didaktikon team (led by Helena Láznička) utilizes the results within poetry education for schools.

Performance Details:
This 7-10 minute performance demonstrates how AI can serve as a creative partner rather than replacement for human artists. The EduPo system, trained on historical Czech poetry, generates verses that Filippi interprets through her multidisciplinary practice combining spoken word, dance, and movement. 

The piece addresses fundamental questions about creativity, authorship, and artistic collaboration in the age of AI: Can machines participate in genuine creative dialogue? What remains uniquely human in the creative process? How do we interpret and give meaning to algorithmically generated art?

Format: 7-10 minute live performance with AI poetry generation and human interpretation
Theme: Human-AI creative collaboration and the embodiment of computational creativity
Focus: Intersection of technology, poetry, movement, and live performance art
