Poetry jukebox in Náměstí Bratří Synků

The Poetry Jukebox stands in Náměstí Bratří Synků square, offering visitors access to audio recordings of selected poems through a steel structure with button controls.

The installation emerged from a cultural movement that began with public pianos in Prague, initiated by Ondřej Kobza and expanded to include poetry-sharing devices across multiple cities.

Twenty different poems in mp3 format are available through the jukebox, representing various literary voices and connecting people with contemporary and traditional Czech poetry.

The jukebox operates through a simple interface where users select and listen to poems, with a concrete pedestal housing the technical components and speaker system.

The electronic system incorporates Arduino technology and RGB LED lights, allowing the structure to function independently through main power supply or street lamp circuits.
