Educational programme for the Gulliver Airship
Where would you like to go if you were able to magically transport yourself? Would it be some familiar place on Earth, a yet-undiscovered island, or a completely fabricated world? Past or future? And what would you bring back with you to our reality?
The Gulliver airship by Martin Rajniš and Leoš Válka was named after one of the most famous figures in utopian literature – and in this programme, a literary Gulliver will transport you to its diary full of giants, midgets, and talking horses, and further yet. You will set out on an exploratory expedition through the DOX Centre; you will find out what the airship on the roof and Gulliver have in common, you will experience it from all angles, and will even take a little piece of it home. Your own diary will turn you into a little Gulliver.
In the closing workshop, you will use a magical artistic/literary formula to create a “transporter” that will take you into your own story.

Storybox: Everything Like at the Dawn of the World
How much does narrative need illustration and image need a story? At DOX, we believe that a gallery like this, and the exhibition within it, is like a big box full of stories and all you have to do is choose. The programme draws inspirational material from Kamila Ženata's exhibition of abstract paintings Everything Like at the Dawn of the World.

#Datamaze: The Magic of Design
Design is all around us - in both the natural and human world. It's an excellent helper, but can also easily become a means of seduction and deception. In the digital world, design defines how we interact with the virtual universe behind the monitor.
#Datamaze: Fake it!
The Internet and especially social networks make active use of the phenomenon of popularity. The more likes, followers, tweets, posts, blogs, photos… the greater trust people place a virtual identity.
Storybox
