About project

The word “echo” signifies both resonance and response. The installation glo™ echoCircle weaves these meanings into a symphony of light and sound, continuing the successful collaboration between glo™ and the Signal Festival in previous years. Within a monumental immersive arena of LED screens, ambient sound textures and rhythmic beats by producer NobodyListen merge with Jan Hladil’s visual compositions, transforming the space into a living organism. The installation employs cutting-edge technologies, most notably the state-of-the-art L-ISA sound system, which creates a 360° spatial audio experience. The result is a unique fusion of light, sound, and space. This audiovisual work reimagines Prague’s most iconic landmarks – Rudolfinum, Prague Castle, Výstaviště, the Žižkov TV Tower, or Náplavka – as pulsating canvases of abstract storytelling. Each location acquires a new identity, from trembling ornaments on historical façades to futuristic light abstractions that come alive in harmony with the architecture.

Artist

NobodyListen is the artistic pseudonym of music producer and DJ Jakub Strach. His musical style blends hip hop, electronic music, and experimental sounds. Thanks to his innovative approach, he quickly became a significant figure on the Czech music scene, with his influence now reaching abroad.

Jan Hladil is a Czech visual artist who studied graphic design and went on to study supermedia at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague under the guidance of Federico Díaz. He works as a VJ, projection technician, and video operator. His practice spans mapping projections, audiovisual installations, and content creation for the Lunchmeat label, as well as for Vision Factory and Signal Productions.

Location

Riegrovy Sady Park as you’ve never seen it before. This more than 100-year-old park hides intimate corners, woodland paths, open meadows, and unexpected vistas of Prague. Once home to vineyards, it still preserves fragments of its past – a neoclassical lookout tower, now a restaurant after reconstruction, and a three-sided sandstone obelisk. An audiovisual installation abstractly portraying other iconic Prague landmarks will transform the park into the very heart of the city.
