""We're happy about it," festival director Martin Pošta says about the mention. "It's a kind of recognition." Not that the event needed promotion, even in one of the most anticipated novels of recent years. The organizers have yet to share the number of visitors to the festival this year, but the four-day event typically attracts half a million visitors. On the final day, there was a long queue in front of the monumental installation Tristan's"
"The festival premiere took place on the Vltava River near the Dvořák Embankment. Taiwan's Peppercorns Interactive Media Art presented a projection on a cloud of mist called Tzolk'in Light. While creators of other light installations have to deal with the challenges of buildings-their irregular surfaces, decorative details, and awkward cornices-projecting onto water droplets is a challenge of a different kind with artists having to give up control over the resulting image."
A mention in a high-profile bestseller boosted the festival's global recognition. The festival is the largest Czech and Central European showcase of digital art and typically attracts about half a million visitors over four days. Director Martin Pošta said the mention felt like recognition. On the final day a long queue formed before Bill Viola's Tristan's Ascension at the Church of St. Salvator, where a Christ-like figure rose and streams of water appeared to defy gravity. The Vltava River premiere featured Taiwan's Peppercorns Interactive Media Art with Tzolk'in Light, a projection on a cloud of mist. Projecting on water droplets forced artists to relinquish control to wind, affecting how much of the scene was revealed.
