Artist Name

Eliška Janečková

Hometown: Brno

Based in: Brno

In an era where the boundaries of reality are constantly shifting and expanding, my work serves as an exploration into the very core of how we understand and interact with the world. Drawing from my background as a product designer with strong technical skills, my practice operates on a broad spectrum—from concrete, material-driven product design to abstract, conceptual artistic research.

Projects like “Rawie,” an innovative textile concept, embody my multidisciplinary approach. In “Rawie,” I delve into the sustainability of products, incorporating principles of Blue Economy while questioning our societal perceptions and relations to everyday objects. This reflects my overarching interest in the ecosystems we inhabit, recognizing our environment as an extension of ourselves.

My practice is deeply rooted in epistemology—the study of knowledge that asks what we know and how we come to know it. While the scientific approach offers a way of dissecting the objective world, I believe it often overlooks the realm of subjective human experience. By tapping into intuition and emotion, I aim to broaden what we accept as ‘knowledge,’ fostering a more holistic understanding of our existence. My work also raises questions about intelligence as a spectrum, exploring its manifestations across natural and artificial systems.

I’m fascinated by the ethical and practical potential of technology, which I see as a human-made extension of ourselves. Through my art, I probe questions about the mutual influences between humans and technology. How can technological advances augment or even extend our sensory limits, allowing us to engage with scales of existence beyond human reach?

Whether the outcome is a physical product, a sculpture, an experience, or even a digital creation, the essence of my work remains consistent: a quest to push the boundaries of our epistemology, to interrogate the porous lines between the human and the non-human, between art and science. My practice is a continuous experiment aimed at understanding how our holistic perception of life shapes our decisions and actions.

In sum, my work is a dynamic interplay between the tangible and intangible, driven by an insatiable curiosity to understand the interconnectivity of all things.
