Tte uses of Animation withun the Documentary
Kaya, Akile Nazli ; POSPISZYL, Tomáš (advisor) ; VOJTĚCHOVSKÝ, Miloš (referee)
This study is an attempt to identify the general principles and the functions of animation and investigate the possibilities of combining two separate genres: documentary and animation. Its central focus is "What can animation bring into the field of documentary film?" Chapter Two glances at the long-lasting relationship of animation and documentary, comparing a number of definitions for both fields, looks for a definition. Additionally, it lists various handmade animation techniques with several examples and tries to categorize different functions of animation. The Third Chapter analyzes a selection of films (A Is for Autism, Doctors' Life Between Life and Death, Ecumenopolis: City Without Limits and The People Who Try to Save the World) in the light of these functions. These case studies also include interviews with the directors, which explain their thinking processes and reasons for some of their choices. As a result, this study concludes in the thought that combining animation within the documentary film can create a meaningful form; a whole which is far more than sum of its parts.

My thesis is based on work of seven artists, which reflects changes in telepresence from the eighties to the present. I examined the fact, that telepresence changed from exclusive art into everyday media. At the end, I ask myself question, how society adapted to the massive growth of telepresence in everyday life.

Processing 1.0
Pešek, Kryštof ; POSPISZYL, Tomáš (advisor) ; VOJTĚCHOVSKÝ, Miloš (referee)
In the filed of theoretical studies, my work consisting of completing the handbook for programming language called Processing. This particular programing language had been constructed during academical research at Massachutches Institute of Technology by its creators Benjamin Fry and Casey Reas. There are already many handbooks available: (i.e.: Casey Reas and Ben Fry, A programming handbook for designers and artist (2007), Ira Greenberg: Processing Creative coding and Computational Art (2007), Daniel Shiffman: Learning Processing: A Beginner's Guide to Programming Images, Animation, and Interaction (2008), Tom Igoe: Making Thinks Talk: Practical Methods for Connecting Physical Objects (2007).), but none of them is in Czech language. The handbook concept should keep the Processing methodological approach; to give an easy access to modern technology to an art and in general non-technical students. With little or without any previous programming experience.

Authenticity and Memory
Strnad, Matěj ; VOJTĚCHOVSKÝ, Miloš (advisor) ; POSPISZYL, Tomáš (referee)
The bachelor's thesis "Authenticity and Memory" is concerned with the changing notion of "authenticity" in contemporary memory institutions. Based on an exploration of expert texts, it aims to map the occurrence of the term, apparently a key one in the field of conservation and preservation. The thesis briefly addresses the fields of care for historical monuments, traditional record archives, audiovisual archives and also museum management. The practice of memorial institutions and their understanding of the term "authenticity" are analyzed with regard to the issues of authorities, digitization of collections and ethical grounds on which these institutions base their
activities. A special emphasis is put on the area of preservation of media art. The thesis further examines authenticity in the field of media art from the point of view of it's "performativity", while at the same time taking into account the possibility to apply the concept of performativity to other art forms.

3D Computer Animation in Live Action Feature Film
Pixa, Libor ; Klimt, Aurel (advisor) ; Vojtěchovský, Miloš (referee)
The subject of this thesis is to provide a compact overview of the 3D computer animation in the live action feature films in a chronological way. The intention is to map its evolution in continuity and allow the reader a whole and transparent summary of such a highly developed area of the cinematography.
The thesis is not focused only at the summary of concrete films and their makers but also covers film and postproduction studios and pioneers who brought the technological inventions into the live and thus moved the 3D film tricks on today?s level.

Human Voice, Artificial Speach
Abrahám, Stanislav ; Vojtěchovský, Miloš (advisor) ; Blažíček, Martin (referee)
The work deals with the nature of the changes of the human voice in the process of its

touches on the topic of voice as the bearer of human identity and maps the human
principles that underlie the problems associated with the mediation of voice through
electronic media, and with creating an artificial language. The work offers a clear
structure of concepts and categories of ways a man spreading his vocal expression
through communication technologies. Key words are terms of transformation,

Interier and exterier. garden as a strategy of a creative process
Moralesová, Alexandra ; Petříček, Miroslav (advisor) ; Vojtěchovský, Miloš (referee)
This essay reflects on the meaning of a garden, mainly decorative, in European context. Such garden is explored as an act of representation. The variability of models of an ideal garden can be seen as a direct manifestation of variability of paradigms always inevitably connected to the ways of representation, which are the expression of the dominant ideology (where politics and aesthetics coexist). In that perspective we are dealing with the "Garden ? la francaise" and its latter counterpart, the "English landscape park". But at the same instant two essential questions arise: the first one asks whether we shouldn't talk about narration rather than of representation, and the second one looks into the possibility of perceiving a garden not through concepts and notions but as a strategy of creative process instead. That option has been opened up in this essay and supported by several examples of artworks, where their author's imaginative process might be likened to a garden.

The Personal, Ethic, and Marginal in image-thinking
Vavrečka, Ondřej ; Vojtěchovský, Miloš (advisor) ; Blažíček, Martin (referee)
Diploma thesis entitled The Personal, Ethic, and Marginal in image-thinking deals with basic concepts related to the production and reception of the images. The text arises from practical experience with film ? the experience is both receptive and creative. The discussed concepts are: the style, the diary, the manipulation, the mirror, the identification, the solitude, the repetition etc. They are involved in the basic ?structures? of the text which are antinomy and analogy. The intention of the thesis is not to define, classify and criticize these concepts. The point is to use them in the intensive way to let arise for the reader important connections or to inspire the reader to the creation of his/her own ?text?. The thesis in a manifestation of a free progressions and joy that have to take part in the fundaments of every human activity, particularly in the science.
