Signal Playground

since 10 / 2025

Signal Space, Prague, Czech Republic

The main theme of the interactive exhibition Signal Playground, held at Signal Space in Prague’s historic Old Town Market Hall, is the fusion of the digital and analog worlds into a single playful whole, where movement, light, sound, and chance come together to create a comprehensive experience. Designed for children aged three to ten, the exhibition features several installations—from a light-up table and a ball wheel, to a giant digital pinball machine and an interactive wall, all the way to magnetic faces. In the exhibition, children become the creators of the events around them, learning to discover physical principles while developing their imagination. The exhibition aims to appeal to the youngest visitors with its playfulness, but also to captivate adults with its interactive elements and visual appeal.

DIGITAL PINBALL

A multiplayer action game where players control a ball on a giant table featuring moving walls and colorful obstacles. Every button press sets not only the ball in motion but also energizes the atmosphere around the players.

MARBLE WHEEL

On the marble wheel, every turn of the physical wheel is a playful experiment with gravity. Animated images on the projection come to life, react to movement, and even interact with young viewers.

INTERACTIVE WALL

Visitors’ silhouettes on the interactive wall become the driving force behind the animation. Objects governed by physical properties react to multiple visitors at once in various environments, and their movements are accompanied by expressions on an animated face.

LIGHT TABLE

The light table turns everyone into the creator of their own animated film. Individual parts of the images projected live onto a large screen tell an interactive story composed of diverse shapes and intertwining color gradients.

MAGNETIC FACES

All you need are eyes, a mouth, a nose, and imagination—magnetic sheets allow you to assemble a diverse array of images composed of countless expressions and faces that interact with each other and the audience.
