From October 16 to 19, 2025, the Signal Festival will once again transform Prague into a gallery of digital art. Two routes — City Centre and Vinohrady — with 20 installations and an accompanying program invite you to explore the city in a whole new light.
The City Centre route will end in PALLADIUM on náměstí Republiky, where you’ll find the LED installation Between Mountains and Seas by the Taiwanese studio Peppercorns.
Signal Festival once again brings together Prague’s historical backdrop with cutting-edge technology and contemporary social themes. Its program features renowned international and Czech artists specializing in light design, visual and digital art, artificial intelligence, and conceptual art.
The installation Between Mountains and Seas, located on the City Centre route in front of PALLADIUM on náměstí Republiky from October 16 to 19, 2025, was created especially for this year’s Signal Festival by Peppercorns Interactive Media Art, a studio founded in 2016 in Taiwan. The studio focuses on creating digital installations using the latest technologies.
Their mission is to share ideas and enrich the world through striking visuality, interactivity, and kinetics. They believe that beauty should permeate every corner of life, and with over a decade of experience in interactive design and new media, they continue to prove that digital technology can produce poetic, aesthetically captivating, and emotionally powerful works of art.
The installation Between Mountains and Seas is a circular LED composition that merges light-based visual art and music to depict a landscape of mountains and seas. The scene reflects over four centuries of transformation in the city of Tainan, which has been shaped by its unique geography — mountains on one side and the sea on the other — resulting in a rich and diverse culture.
One of the most significant turning points in Tainan’s history came with its conquest by the Dutch in 1624. This historical memory remains deeply rooted in Taiwan today, and the ongoing search for security and resilience is one of the central questions this installation explores.
