Antonín Kindl
Practice
Antonín Kindl works with new media and installations. He builds custom electronic systems that sense and interpret their environment, turning machines into organisms that observe, react, and sometimes make mistakes. His ongoing research deals with perception, feedback, and the question of what it means for a machine to see.
The work reaches across interactive installation, kinetic sculpture, computer vision, projection mapping, and robotics. Earlier pieces such as Receptor (2023) and Synapse (2024) defined a consistent line of research into interactivity, processes of perception, and their materialization in space. The diploma project System: The Ascent of a New Kind (2025) investigates autonomous machines and agency in machine behaviour.
