INVITATION (PDF)

Lambda Mirror by Czech sound and media artist Jiří Suchánek transforms the KIBLA Center into a resonant field of frequencies, reflections, and spatial relationships. The title combines two ideas—lambda as a symbol of wavelength, frequency, and invisible structures; and the mirror as a symbol of reflection, inversion, duplication, and the uncertainty of perception. The result is deeply poetic, yet precise.

In Suchánek’s vision, KiBela becomes an acoustic and spatial instrument in which matter, sound, movement, magnetic impulses, geological memory, algorithmic systems, and bodily perception harmonize and influence one another. Individual installations—autonomous stations—do not merely depict hidden processes. They create situations in which sound, light, vibration, and movement allow the visitor to perceive how space is measured, disrupted, reflected, and transformed.

Lambda Mirror unfolds as an environment where what is unique may appear doubled, what is stable begins to vibrate, and what is invisible becomes perceptible through resonance. And the exhibition space becomes a resonant inner landscape in which every object, interval, and vibration has its precise and carefully measured place.

Biographies

Jiří Suchánek (CZ) is a sound and media artist, musician and multimedia experimenter. His artistic approach is synthetic. In his works he combines sound, light, sculptural objects, electronics + code with carefully chosen spaces. Through his work he explores the relationship between nature, technology and the durability of electronic media in wild climatic situations. He studied at the Faculty of Arts of the Brno University of Technology, where he now runs the sound studio. He is a founder of the Svitava Lab collective.

Jiří Suchánek is sound and media composer and constructor focused on creating permanent audio-light installations and systems that are usually interactive and placed in a natural or public spaces (like a cave, astronomic observatory, bridge...). In his works he often involves natural, chaotic, thermodynamic processes in the generation or controlling of emerging music and light patterns. He promotes the idea of open, shared authorship, where the environment is a co-author of the art piece. Among other things, he received the Excellence in sound art @ sound design award at the prestigious international conference klingt gut! Symposium on Sound in Hamburg 2018 for his project "Atom tone" sonifying Mendeleev's periodic table of elements and spectral lines of atoms. He realized a large number of long-term multimedia installations in public space, exhibited and performed concerts at a number of international festivals and conferences such as: CTM, UNSOUND, ICAD, NEXT, NCCA, STIMUL, ENH, NIME, klingt gut! STEIM, or Institute of Sonology. In 2020, he defended his dissertation at JAMU on the subject of Sonification in musical composition and sound art. Among other things, he teaches subjects dealing with sound art, sound production and audio technologies at FaVU and JAMU. In 2020, he founded the association SVITAVA – transmedia art lab and established SONDA – festival of electroacoustic music and audiovisual performances.
