About project

The ArchiBio project discovers phenomena that surround us everywhere, yet they remain invisible. The growth of bacteria, fungi and plants, life of an ant colony – the beauty of these phenomena escapes our attention, because they exist on a different scale or in a different time beyond our perception. ArchiBio videomapping unfolds the beauty of microscopic worlds enlarged to a giant size in the public space. It poses a question whether the relationship between nature and technology really is antagonistic, or whether the man-made technologies represent just another branch on the evolutionary tree. It is fascinating that all life forms around us share the same operating system with us, humans, DNA. What will happen once our technologies learn how to cooperate with it? Will genetic modification bring destruction or progress?

Artist

Andrej Boleslavský (SK/CZ) is an award-winning digital artist whose practice resides at the intersection of technology, organic life, and performative expression.

At the core of his work lies a profound fascination with the convergence of the natural and the technological. He explores this relationship across a broad spectrum of interactive installations, virtual reality environments, physical computing, light projections, 3D printing, and generative systems, crafting immersive experiences that invite viewers into the liminal space between the organic and the algorithmic. 

Boleslavský has developed numerous interactive installations and lectured on open source and creative coding tools. Beyond his own practice, he also collaborates as a technologist with fellow artists and interaction design studios.

In recent years, his projects have been inspired by contemporary dance and digital technologies. By weaving together these seemingly opposing media, he creates experiences that are intentionally disorienting yet resonate with powerful artistic meaning.

Signal Creative is an independent creative studio based in Prague and one of the country’s leading producers of new art. It specialises in original video mappings, light design, and artistic objects in public space. The studio also creates original presentations for companies worldwide.

Andrej Boleslavsky is currently working as an artist and researcher for CIANT - International Centre for Art and New Technologies. In his own projects he focuses on the creating of artworks using a wide range of new media technologies, elements of experimental games, generative art and physical computing. He also lectures workshops organized by various study programs. Recently participated in the Cellsbutton#5 media festival. He curated exhibitions TransGenesis: Global Players and Square vision focused on game art and co-curated festival Enter5: Datapolis. His specialization in the field of programming includes knowledge of media platforms such as VVVV and Arduino which he uses to develop interactive artworks.
