The Prototyp Festival was created in 2014 as an event with the aim of connecting the world of art,
science and technology. By connecting seemingly separate and distant areas
a cultural event for a wide range of visitors takes place every year in November.
In 9 years, the festival has developed into a traditional Brno autumn event,
which, thanks to cooperation with many South Moravian institutions and companies,
constantly expands and transforms.

2024 – SPRING EDITION

This time the Prototyp festival took place (March 22-24, 2024) in its non-traditional spring form and was part of the opening of the newly reconstructed reservoirs on the Yellow Hill. This unique event transformed historic reservoirs into a living gallery, where lights, sounds and colors enlivened the underground spaces. On special tours, viewers could explore the reservoirs in an unconventional way, through breathtaking audio-visual shows and large-scale atmospheric projections referring to the theme of water and working with the space itself.

2022

After a year, technology, science and art came together again at the Prototyp festival. The opening and the accompanying program took place from October 14 to 16 in the creative hub KUMST, and for the art exhibition in November, visitors delved into the secrets of the Brno Reservoirs on the Yellow Hill.

The opening evening offered a fashion performance by Ekotextil design students, and the Himalayan Dalai Lama returned to the prototype stage after years, this time accompanied by Terézia Kovalová. The weekend continued with lectures and a multimedia exhibition by TIM students, following the AI conference HUMAIN.

The game of space was held in a briefly open space in the lower part of Little America in Brno.

2014

The first year took place in 2014 in the beautiful industrial area of ​​Adam Gallery in Brno. 17 works of light and live performances were exhibited at the event itself. The visitors came blessingly over 1,800. All those who came to the Prototype could enjoy an exhibition of lightworks as in the classic museum, but they also seized interactive installations, thematic refreshments and of course the feature-length main program. Ardor Viridis, David Vrbík playing on a laser string or Jiří Suchánek shone on the podium. The icing on the cake was a light fashion show that symbolically closed the entire festival. The feature program ended after the party with Djs.
