01 / Field notes
I’m a Czech writer and independent AI researcher working across AI, internet culture and human–technology relationships. I contribute to WIRED Czechia, study long-term human–AI interaction and make black-and-white photographic work.
02 / Selected now
As artificial intelligence moves into domestic routines, the refrigerator becomes a surprisingly intimate site of automation, prediction and everyday negotiation.

2010—present
I write reported features and essays on AI, internet culture, social media and the ways emerging technologies reshape everyday life, work, creativity and relationships. My work combines research, expert interviews and cultural analysis without flattening complexity. I currently contribute to WIRED Czechia; earlier work includes film criticism and cultural writing for Cinepur, Cinema, 25fps and Asianstyle.cz.
What happens when AI becomes part of intimacy?
Chatbots are moving from work windows into the intimate zones of everyday life, creating a new kind of relationship interface that society does not yet have a language for.
Why is the internet nostalgic for a past it barely remembers?
On algorithmic feeds, the recent past returns as an endlessly remixable aesthetic—often for people too young to remember the original moment.
Why does childhood seem to contain more time?
A look at memory, novelty and the still-unsettled science behind the feeling that childhood summers lasted almost forever.
Can technology ease loneliness without deepening it?
Smartphones and social platforms promise constant connection. The harder question is why loneliness has risen alongside it.
What does an algorithm reveal when you become someone else?
A first-person experiment with name, gender and preference reveals how quickly a recommendation system begins rebuilding the person it thinks it sees.
04 / Research
Between human and model
I study long-term human–AI dialogue from inside the interaction, focusing on the adaptations, continuities and user-specific patterns that short encounters rarely reveal. This work is informed by hands-on experience evaluating Czech-language AI outputs for accuracy, reasoning, tone and natural language use.
I have also discussed this work with researchers at Leiden University, the University of Southern Denmark, the University of Amsterdam and the University of St.Gallen.
ResearchGate profile05 / Photography
Photography is not an illustration of the written work. It is a parallel way of thinking—in frames, interruptions, textures and things that only become visible when ordinary context falls away.
I received First Prize in the Pandemic category at the 2022 Czech National Photography Competition for Omezené možnosti, as well as the Foma Prize for Na lovu. Four of my photographs also received an award from the East Bohemian Photographers’ Association at Premiéra 2023. Selected works have been exhibited across the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

06 / About
My route into this work began with film: first as a student and research assistant, then through criticism, editing and digital media.
I hold a master’s degree in Film Studies from Masaryk University. Over more than a decade, I wrote about cinema and culture, edited digital media and spent five years at Sony Pictures Entertainment. That path trained the same habits my work relies on now: looking closely, connecting contexts and staying with a question after the obvious answer has run out.
I grew up in a small village surrounded by forests, an environment that continues to shape how I look at landscape, memory and the traces people leave behind. The same attention moves between my writing, research and photographs: different forms, but a shared interest in what becomes visible when familiar systems, habits and images are looked at for longer.
