Experts and leading voices of the international AI scene will once again gather in Prague for the Fotograf Zone AI Forum. On Tuesday, November 4, the hall of Studio FAMU will transform into a platform inviting interdisciplinary collaboration and open discussion on the possibilities of using AI in art, technology, and social development. Don’t miss an evening that will reveal where our relationship with artificial intelligence is heading in the near future.

Last year’s first conference of its kind in the Czech Republic – Creative Edge by Fotograf Zone – opened a wide-ranging debate on the relationship between artificial intelligence, visual culture, and language.

Artificial intelligence is no longer just a technology. It has become a cultural phenomenon that profoundly transforms how we perceive the world and how we create within it,” says Daria Hvížďalová, AI expert and co-initiator of the event.

Building on this success, the organizers decided to continue developing the project, establishing a recurring format under the title Fotograf Zone AI Forum.

Our goal is to provide a space where different approaches and disciplines can meet – from art and technology to the social sciences,” explains Markéta Kinterová of Fotograf Zone.

This year’s event will take place on November 4, featuring internationally recognized names whose work strongly resonates across disciplines.
German artist Boris Eldagsen, winner of the Sony World Photography Awards 2023 (who famously declined the award after revealing his image was AI-generated), will discuss how the artist’s role has evolved from text prompting to working with images as material and reference. His talk will explore the complexity of creative collaboration between humans and AI, and its impact on artistic education and the role of creators.

Kalmyk-American poet, artist, and AI researcher Sasha Stiles will offer a deeply personal perspective on the rapidly evolving relationship between humanity and machines. She will share how the timeless art of poetry can help us navigate the emotional, ethical, and existential challenges of human existence in the age of AI.

Austrian artist, filmmaker, and AI researcher Claudia Larcher will take the audience on a journey through history, showing how AI responds to gender bias and historical gaps in data. Her award-winning project AI and the Art of Historical Reinterpretation (Ars Electronica Prix 2024) rewrites visual history to amplify marginalized voices and critically examine whose stories are preserved, altered, or erased in mainstream narratives.

All three guests will then join a panel discussion on the theme:
How is AI changing our perception of language in the context of visual art?
The conversation will focus on various artistic approaches to using AI in transforming language into visual works – and how this process reshapes our relationship to both text and image.

The evening will conclude with the presentation of winning creative AI projects selected from the open call by Fotograf Zone.
The main partner of the conference is the Havrlant Art Collection, a private international collection of contemporary art dedicated to transparent and comprehensive presentation through virtual space.

A limited number of tickets for the conference are now on sale, including an exclusive VIP option that grants full access to the program, personal meetings with guest speakers, and entry to a closed networking party — a unique opportunity to make new professional connections.

False Friends

#49 Talk TogetherFotograf Zone Festival 2025Jedna Dva Tři Gallery, Petrohradská kolektiv

Language shapes our world, influences our thoughts, and reflects our societies. In the context of the Balkans, specifically the former Yugoslavia, a region marked by shared histories and divergent narratives, language can both include and exclude. Through the concept of “false friends”, words that appear similar but differ in meaning, this exhibition explores how identity, politics, and cultural memory echo in the language we use, and vice versa. Simply put, we often speak of what we believe are the same notions, not realising we understand them differently. These deceptively familiar terms thus become symbols of regional complexities, miscommunication, and broader cultural and historical tensions.

#49 Talk TogetherFotograf Zone Festival 2025Holešovická Tržnice, Hall 13

Illness and vulnerable states of being unsettle the way we know and speak about the body. These conditions—whether chronic or transitory—fracture language, bend perception, time, and resist being neatly contained in existing forms of representation. Fever State emerges from this friction: the struggle to articulate experiences of vulnerability, crisis, and repair when established vocabularies fail. Where we, as diverse, mixed-abled bodyminds with different capacities, cannot align with or adhere to normative concepts of time, space and productivity. Therefore, in the context of the exhibition, images become more than documents; they operate as gestures of resistance, intimate testimonies, and tools for reclaiming agency.
