Signal Space is a permanent gallery of digital art and immersive media in Prague 1, Czech Republic. It opened on 1 October 2025 in a 19th-century market hall, alongside the 2025 edition of the Signal Festival.[1][2] It has been described as Prague's first permanent space dedicated to digital and light art.[3] The gallery was founded by Martin Pošta, a producer and curator who co-founded the annual Signal Festival.

Background

[edit]

Signal Festival is Prague's annual festival of light and digital art, first held in 2013. After it grew into one of the country's most-attended cultural events, its organisers created a year-round permanent venue for digital art; Signal Space opened on 1 October 2025.[1][4]

Venue

[edit]

Signal Space occupies a former municipal market hall in central Prague, near the Můstek metro station. The cast-iron building, with an arched central nave and clerestory skylights, was adapted as a permanent venue for digital art.[4] According to Fisheye Immersive, the main gallery comprises about 1,300 square metres of modular exhibition space.[2] The venue includes a large-format 360-degree projection hall and several smaller rooms, and hosts a rotating showcase of Czech artists. Entry is by timed ticketing.

Exhibitions

Echoes of Tomorrow (2025–2026)

[edit]

The gallery's inaugural exhibition, Echoes of Tomorrow, opened on 1 October 2025 and presented works by digital and media artists on themes of technology, perception and the future.[1][2] Featured works included Everything by the Istanbul studio Nohlab, intangible #form by Shohei Fujimoto, Fighters by Quayola and Max Cooper, a generative environment by Markos Kay, and the interactive Body Sketches / Scale Studies by Zach Lieberman.[2][4] The gallery reported more than 70,000 visitors by March 2026, and the exhibition was extended in response to public demand.[5]

Reception and awards

[edit]

In February 2026, Signal Space won in the Arts & Experience category at the InAVation Awards, an international honour in audiovisual and immersive technology, where it was recognised alongside projects including teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi.[6][7] Prague's Councillor for Culture, Tomáš Slabihoudek, described the win as a success for the city's cultural scene.[8]

Organisation

[edit]

Signal Space is part of the Prague-based organisation Signal, which also runs Signal Festival and the production studio Signal Creative. It was founded by Martin Pošta.
