Poesiomat

Poesiomat—Poetry That Speaks from the Landscape
The Poesiomat is a talking sculpture, a cultural periscope, and an amplifier of the genius loci, all in one. It is a device placed in locations with a strong narrative—near castles, on mountaintops, in forests, and in cities—that plays poetry and texts connected specifically to that location for passersby.
With our app, you can easily find all the Poesiomats in your area:

Map and list: search for Poesiomats by location or browse a clear list of all locations

Find out which poems and texts you can listen to at a given location

Learn more about the history and story of each location

You’ll find Poesiomats at castles, in the countryside, and in cities throughout the Czech Republic—each one is different, because no two places are alike. The texts are selected and narrated by well-known actors, literary scholars, and people who live in those places.

Download the app and let the landscape speak to you.

Recent changes:
- New features: LTE environment data sync, metadata editing
- Bug fixes: Fixed several bugs in configuration screens, that happened when the connection between the app and poesiomat was severed.
- Project changes: Dramaturgy (song names, authors) and slot configs are now two separate entities, allowing more customization and providing the ability to create the dramaturgy list without actually communicating with the device.
