#JIRIWOLKER

Assignment
For the 100th anniversary of the death of Jiří Wolker, create a presentation of his work and personality in the form of a permanent exhibition, primarily aimed at the younger generation, which will also include a timeline.

Architecture
Using artificial intelligence tools, the "pens and brushes" of today's era, visitors to the exhibition are enabled to become Jiří Wolker. After sitting in the author's chair, they can create, illustrate, write poetry, and share reflections or critical topics, just as Wolker did in his time. The connection between the past and the present occurs through an application that utilizes artificial intelligence algorithms. We consider the active engagement of visitors in direct interaction with Wolker to be the ideal way to convey the inspiring values of the poet's imagination and social critique not only to the younger generation but also to gain insight into the topics that resonate today. The results of this creation are projected in the exhibition in direct dialogue with the poet's life.
The spatial concept of the exhibition is based on a neutral white space that, similar to a blank sheet of paper, cannot be placed in a specific time or location. The centerpiece of the exhibition is a spatial object, whose non-specific shape stimulates the imagination. Its form is defined by the pragmatic need for shading the skylight, a beam of light from the projection, and the practical use of a table. The targeted liquid sheen of the mirrored material deliberately appeals to the younger generation with its straightforwardness, while also connecting the functional elements of the object. At the projection site (at present), the uncertainty is balanced by revealing the raw construction of the object, thus contrastingly grounding the artificiality of the whole installation and placing it in reality.

Construction and Technology
In the hall, heating elements with an industrial look were exposed. The installation of conduits was hidden in a raised floor. The structure of the central object is assembled from plywood ribs with locks. The leftover material generated during the production of the ribs was used to produce stools, which were complemented with recycled foam seat pads. The lighting is concealed in the skylight, complementing the natural light.


Annotation at the Exhibition
With respect to the personality and literary legacy of Jiří Wolker, we give you the opportunity to become the author himself, civically aware, sensitive to the surroundings, and full of imagination. Our intention is to illuminate his personality and work from the most essential perspective – namely, the ability of imagination, sensitivity, and creative reflection that we wish to support in visitors.
Share with us your ideas, thoughts, sensitivity, and perception of the world around you. Allow yourself to be inspired by passion, courage, and the ability to create deep emotions. With the combination of the world of literature and artificial intelligence, create your own proposals, visions, and become Jiří Wolker.
Familiarize yourself more closely with Jiří Wolker on the timeline, in other texts, and under QR codes that complement the exhibition with accompanying information. You are invited on a captivating and inspiring journey of words that connect the past, present, and future.
Sit in the author's chair and start creating and sharing poetry, stories, illustrations… with #JiriWolker – whether here or on your own devices. On the other side, in the beam of light of your contributions, become artists, curators, and spectators of your own exhibition. In the end, you may become one of the co-authors of the book that will be published from the shared contributions.
