Tomáš Mašín
The structure of the Tamagotchi video is based on the alternation of simple animations and texts. The animations remind us of early video games or simple computer games. For the texts he used the Chicago typeface which was designed for Apple Computer and was used between 1984 and 1997 in the operating system user interface. Unlike the main stream of Czech video making in the mid- 1990s, mostly based on performative elements or artistic unusualness, Mašín´s approach is radically different not only in terms of aesthetics but also conception.

The tools of visual and audio postproduction, 3D modelling software and generative algorithms have become so integral to our daily experience of the world that we often hardly acknowledge their presence. Yet something fundamental is happening to the (technical) image, as it gradually drifts away from its representational function, ceasing to be the image of “something”, a record, or some distorted “reflection” of the reality preceding it. Instead, it produces a reality of its own which, far beyond the edge of the screen, merges as one with the very world we once hoped to fix with(in) the image.
Lucie Svobodová
An important topic in Lucie Svobodová's recent work is also the technical obsolescence of audiovisual media and formats, which is also led to her revision of her older works. The resulting reconstructions that Svobodová creates with the help of new technologies, not only touch the current question of archiving related works, but also open a discussion about the extent to which the pioneering works of Czech animation and video art are interesting for today's wider audience.
Jiří Havlíček, Pavel Ryška
The name Pérák was derived from a general word for a spring and the suffix -ák, often used to form an informal name. The name was motivated by his significant feature, i.e. the springs- steal springs on his feet that helped this cartoon character overcome the most difficult of obstacles. Traces of the legendary phantom, who first appeared in 1946, have been apparent in the Czech visual culture for more than seventy years.
