The Gruppo Tökmag art collective was founded in 2008 by András Tábori and Budha Tamás Kovács. The group focuses on public and urban spaces, which it considers to be open exhibition venues containing many different media that can be used for artistic self-expression. Their works can best be interpreted in the context of urban life, public spaces, and ubiquitous, dominant symbols that reflect the very question of the existence of the big city and reveal "hidden" phenomena.

Josef Holý focuses on the topics of information warfare, disinformation and the influence of algorithms of technological giants on our lives. How are and have these themes been reflected among artists working with moving image?

The international exhibition Beyond the Sound presents a contemporary approach to the specific and lively artistic field of sound art. Sound is presented not as an independent aesthetic form, but as a medium used to explore and reveal phenomena that are often unrecognisable to the eye.
