Katerina Smolikova

Skyphos is a chandelier designed by Kateřina Smolíková that's inspired by deep sea luminescent organisms.

Smolíková likes to experiment and explore the possibilities of glass; she is not afraid of large dimensions and colors, which is not always easy to achieve in the case of this translucent matter. Moreover, she not always respects established glass technologies and established ways of glass production. Smolíková mainly employs the medium of glass to express her artistic intention. She draws inspiration from natural motifs and her own memories of landscapes. Her glass objects and paintings abound with structures and perceptions of color and bespeak of her characterful approach to glass for which she owes, amongst others, to her Professor, Vladimír Kopecký, whose main goal is to guide his students towards self-reliance and provide them great freedom in their creative expression.

Journey / Entry 02

Journey is an interactive parable, an anonymous online adventure to experience a person’s life passage and their intersections with other’s.

You wake alone and surrounded by miles of burning, sprawling desert, and soon discover the looming mountaintop which is your goal.  Faced with rolling sand dunes, age-old ruins, caves and howling winds, your passage will not be an easy one. The goal is to get to the mountaintop, but the experience is discovering who you are, what this place is, and what is your purpose.

Travel and explore this ancient, mysterious world alone, or with a stranger you meet along the way. Soar above ruins and glide across sands as you discover the secrets of a forgotten civilization.

Oblivion Island: Haruka And The Magic Mirror

Haruka is an ordinary teenager. Her mother passed away when she was only a little child, and her father has been looking after her ever since. But now that she's 16, communication with her ever-absent workaholic father is not at its best, and "home" has become synonymous of solitude. One day, in a shrine yard, Haruka spots a strange creature resembling a fox, carrying a toy plane. But as she goes after the funny animal, she finds herself on... Oblivion Island! This is an amazing place entirely made of memorabilia coming from the human world. And here, Haruka will encounter the memories of her childhood. But humans are not supposed to be on Oblivion Island, and the Baron, who rules that world, has put his eye on that unexpected intruder.

And from here, the story bends dramatically into an unpredictable direction at increasing and uncontrolled speed... Will Haruka find her long lost memories and make it up with them?
