addiction

Abstract: As an observer, I have been involved in a research project for a long time that focuses on human self-awareness through artistic creation, called "From Inside Out." The aim of the project is to find a pattern for the artistic bohemian or a happy, fulfilled life full of pleasure, inspiration, and creativity. It is worth noting from the outset that this project is ambitious in its goals and is practically an active platform. Currently, hundreds of authors from different parts of the world are participating in this research, expressing interest in exploring the theme of self-awareness in their work. These authors apply to the project in pairs, with an observer monitoring and recording their creative processes. Therefore, there is always one observer monitoring one author to ensure the highest possible integrity of observation for each participant in the project. The author with whom I am working has requested anonymity, and I will refer to this person as "Creator X." My task is to gather the most detailed information possible about Creator X's creative processes and approaches, while Creator X's responsibility is to share them with me in as much detail as possible. Unfortunately, the evaluations of my observation are only provided to the author, who has refused to share them with me. I find the concept of a pattern for the artistic bohemian fascinating and have decided to independently process observations from this project for my thesis and create my own visual evaluations of the observations. Formally, this work involves the artistic processing of documentation of our joint process, appropriating Creator X's work within the "From Inside Out" project, in combination with free portraits of Creator X. My intention is to transform Creator X's individual thought processes and patterns during the creation of the work into visual recordings of those processes and create the most complex image of Creator X (from my point of view) during our collaboration on the project "From Inside Out." I will implement psychological aspects of Creator X that stem from the impact of the artist's methodical strategies applied to the creative process on their own emotions and mentality. In my effort to capture the most faithful representation of Creator X's internal image during the development of the work, I aim to incorporate my personal analyses of the subject's observations during the creative process, focusing primarily on the author's cognitive subjectivity.

The glass shepherd
Dohnalová, Tea ; Fajnor, Richard (referee) ; Gabriel, Michal (advisor)
The topic of my thesis are menhirs. Specifically, the largest Czech menhir known as the Stone Shepherd (3200 cm). The aim of this work was to transfer the exact shape and size of this megalith and materialize it here in Brno. This goal required the use of many procedures. At the beginning there was a photo shoot, then a 3D program, 3D program editing, and slicing into contour lines. Then I projected the menhir on a wall in real size and traced it to polystyrene boards. The next step was to cut out all 104 plates on a band saw and I could go to gluing and folding the whole object. The final step was to paint the object in white. The result is a simple and clean polystyrene object. I did not cover the contour lines - I present the object in the most direct form possible. The styrofoam megalith, despite its size, is a sculpture in the interior. Ideally, I would create an installation that would create a separate, isolated space for the object.

Trees Have the Power
Mikušková, Nina ; Fajnor, Richard (referee) ; Kovářová, Marta (advisor)
The project "Trees Have The Power" is being developed since 2013 and revolves around the strength of interpersonal connections experienced throughout our lives. It points out the reality, that we all create our own micro-cosmos around us, shaped and expanded by every new person we meet. First phase of the project involved exhibition of a tree within a gallery, which served as a metaphor of an ever expanding organism. For the second phase an online social platform was developed, to map out and connect my personal contacts. The third outcome offers space to present the "tree". By involving people from my own personal tree of connections, we are creating lectures, interactive events, concerts, film screenings, and discussions focused on multiple aspects of life. The aim is both to test the skills and initiative of a specific community as a driving force in sharing and accumulating knowledge and experience; and at the same time to demonstrate the magnitude of impact of such activity. This unorthodox framework of encounter offers opportunity to generate new perspectives within the community, and enrich the audience.
