What would your virtual avatar most like to wear?
Come and experiment with digital fashion by designing your own T-shirt for Roblox or a skin for Minecraft.

Science in colours
VIDA science centrum
1-7 pm
location: KUMST – hall
Join VIDA! to discover how science can ‘paint’! At the workshop, we’ll create a milk rainbow where the colours dance across the surface of the milk of their own accord, and we’ll conjure up a sugar rainbow to shed light on the laws of physics. We’ll also discover why some colours don’t mix, how surprising patterns emerge and the physics and chemistry behind beauty. This workshop is suitable for children and adults alike who want to combine science and art into one colourful experience.
UNASKED: An experiment in proactive AI and face jewellery
Štěpánka Kološová
1-7 pm
location: KUMST – Workshop room
What if AI didn’t live behind a screen, waiting for you to ask a question, but stayed with you throughout the day and decided for itself when it was worth speaking? Or should it be you who sets the rules?
