The Final Thesis - The Art Project (D)
Maša, Vojtěch ; Koťátko, Petr (referee) ; Sterec, Pavel (advisor)
In my diploma thesis, which is called "University Qualification Thesis: MASTER'S DEGREE DIPLOMA THESIS - STUDIO PART (D), I try to fulfill the protocol, which is specified in the following points: - Get grade "D" from my diploma thesis - studio part, - If I don't get grade "D" from my diploma thesis - studio part, I did not fulfill the assignment and the goal. Therefore, the project should not be considered as successful and should be graded "F". The thesis doesn't have a visual form. The project itself is just the "concept" described in the two points mentioned above in the text including all the consequences and its progression. My creative contribution is only to induce the situation. This text is just a text part of the documentation used for easier understanding and for contextualizing. Thus, this text is a lexical (and graphical in case of the diagram shown in the full text) comment on the project and it should not be subject to evaluation. Additional form of documentation of the project will be an audio recording of defense of this project taken by a record company. My speech during the defense is also not meant to be a performace as an art discipline and therefore should not be assessed.

REALITY
Kadlčák, Šimon ; Havlíček, Jiří (referee) ; Sterec, Pavel (advisor)
My diploma project at Faculty of Fine Arts in Brno Reality is based on video docummentation of football fans, shot at the match of 24th round of the 1st Czech football league between Slavia Praha and Hradec Kralove in spring 2017. Presentation form of multi-channel installation enables the viewer to watch parallel actions. The center whole shot displays the tribune of Slavia ultras as massive, highly-coordinated collective body. Simultaneously filmed detailed shots display individual diversity, invisible in the image of the whole. Using the method of juxtaposition, I pose questions on the nature and relationship of an individual and collective. Depending on current perspective,, the individual might seem as independent on the collective, or it might easily seem to be firmly linked together. In the Documentation of Diploma Thesis I suggest several ideas on the individual/collective relationship: the role of cultural and other dependance, the nature of time, or the role and relevance of glance and observation.

AT01GC
Krausová, Zuzana ; Sterec, Pavel (referee) ; Klodová, Lenka (advisor)
The topic of the work is "Power Transformation". In my thesis, I transform physical strength. I work with both the functional and the exterior design of the entertainment boxing gaming machine, which measures the power of the strike, which it then transforms into financial amounts sent to various non-profit organizations or projects. It is an interactive object requiring the physical participation of the viewer to achieve full functionality of the work

Water Politics
Dvořáková, Dana ; Vojtěchovský, Miloš (referee) ; Sterec, Pavel (advisor)
The work is aimed at familiarizing the audience with the problems of water in the Czech Republic and its distribution within the landscape. However, its character, which approaches to documentary work, doesn´t explicitly describe the problem, but rather attempts to visualize it and give the viewer space for his own imagination. The work draws in contrast the examples of fine functional interventions in the landscape with examples of monstrous concrete structures - dams. It points to problematic places and tries to convey to the viewer the current issue not only in the chosen location. The main thing is the lyrical performance, which evokes not only a video but also the sound part and the narrative that explains the whole problem. The video is not purely informative, its specificity is also focused on the enjoyment of the viewer. He plays with documentary techniques but does not use them as a priority. The shots are deliberately chosen so that the concrete buildings look monumental and have their seriousness. The background of the shots also shows the time of their creation. This element is supposed to be critical and is supposed to be opposed to studies that use old plans to build new water reservoirs that do not give space for a more efficient solution. The work also touches on the overproduction and issues of today's modern agriculture.

"Too cool to pretend to care"
Vinklárková, Tereza ; Remešová, Anna (referee) ; Sterec, Pavel (advisor)
The aim of the project is to capture the consumer attitude of society, the millennial culture, fake news, as well as planetary and social changes. It presents a stylized post-ironic statement of mostly narcissistic millennials, whose social platforms have become the main platform for expression, forcing us to reflect on the variety of information we are surrounded by and the need of its selection. It also opens the discussion about the phenomenon of denying the existence of climate change visible through the absurd arguments and the phenomenon of geoengineering, targeted human interventions in natural processes, primarily to permanently or at least temporarily cool the planet.

Emo Weather
Drštičková, Hana ; Šlesingerová,, Eva (referee) ; Sterec, Pavel (advisor)
The artwork was created by linking two thematic areas, mental health and atmospheric phenomena aka weather. I am examining forms of alienation and emotional numbness, which I follow by thematizing the isolation of people from the external environment and manifestations of local weather. I touch upon the topics of current weather representations, such as meteorological satellite images, and last but not least, I contemplate the fact of climate crisis. The work takes the form of a 100-minute long video, a set of 21 paintings by aniline colors on paper, sound track played in a loop and additional literature, texts and sketches available for public.

Emotional Cartography
Rygálová, Monika ; Pfeiffer, Jan (referee) ; Sterec, Pavel (advisor)
The work aims to artistically compile perception of maps as a fact, what let us think about The world - how we know it from the map. I work with data, which I gain by displaying technology – eye tracking, which helps me to record track of moving eyes during watching any kind of picture. The observations will be people from different places such a place of stay etc. Gained data I am going to use as a study, which I will componate to maps and different vizualizations of world, countries etc. "Where i have not ever been before, it does not exist" – is idea of percepting world, wich I also work with on that project. Study will contain all aspect of perceiving maps and systematicly shown world related to the person, his memories to that place, fyzical contact and his impact in his scale person versus a the world.

take a deep breath and let the tears shed water
Gajdošová, Kristýna ; Poliačková, Martina (referee) ; Sterec, Pavel (advisor)
The aim of this work should be an attempt to materialize my subjective reflection of the blending of two different scenes and subcultures. It should reflect my perception of these subcultures and their similarities and differences, as well as how they relate to each other or to society at all. More than research, I would like to focus on my personal inner testimony.
