As more and more parents drive their offspring’s to school, the mornings on the streets near schools are slowly becoming more and more of a nightmare. Around the start of school, Prague’s narrow streets are filled with snakes of barely moving cars, as some parents drop their child off, and others choose to leave their car standing while they lead their child into the school building themselves. This is not only a scary situation for those parents who have no other choice but to drop their children off, but also for the climate, as running cars spend tens of minutes standing idle in the city.

So what did art critic Barbora Čapová take away from these? In recent times the pandemic has caused cultural limitations but its also accelerated a new era of art presentation – an era in which the physical environment cannot be completely separated from the virtual environment.
