Abrahám, Stanislav ; VOJTĚCHOVSKÝ, Miloš (advisor) ; BLAŽÍČEK, Martin (referee)
This diploma thesis develops the theme of the bachelor thesis: Human voice, artificial speech ? vocal speeech and the context of its representation through technical tools. In bachelor thesis I created a clear structure of concepts and categories of the ways in which people spread their voice speech through Information and Communication Technologies. I also dealt with the nature of the changes that happen to the human voice in the process of its representation. In diploma thesis I apply the theoretical basis of my bachelor thesis when analyzing specific works of contemporary audiovisual art. I reflect the broad contexts of the phenomenon of the human voice in selected artistic concepts through the analysis of practical examples. Key terms are words remediation, phonography, sound installation, performance, artistic concept.

The fujara and the shakuhachi
Matvija, Marek ; BENDOVÁ, Helena (advisor) ; VOJTĚCHOVSKÝ, Miloš (referee)
Ve své bakalářské práci srovnávám dva hudební nástroje, japonskou flétnu šakuhači a slovenskou fujaru. Oba nástroje hrají významnou roli pro stavbu identity jejich hráčů a jsou znakem mužského genderu. Toto je v práci prokázáno skrze rozbor jejich současných i historických sociálně kulturních kontextů.
Zatímco společenský kontext flétny šakuhači postupně vedl k vytvoření eroticko-sexuálních konotací, které se v běžné japonské vizuální i verbální komunikaci stali primárním významem slova "šakuhači", u fujary jsou tyto konotace pouze sekundární. Naopak fujara se jako endemický slovenský hudební nástroj stala důležitým symbolem slovenského národního diskurzu a uvědomění. Kdežto šakuhači není v současné době využívána jako proponent nacionalistických tendencí v japonské společnosti.
Práce sleduje různé estetické a kulturní mechanizmy, které, byť podobné, vedly k rozdílným významům obou nástrojů v jejich "domácích" společnostech.

Creative use of audiovisual technologies in contemporary czech alternative theatre
Kalivoda, Jan ; VOJTĚCHOVSKÝ, Miloš (advisor) ; HORÁKOVÁ, Jana (referee)
The use of modern audiovisual technologies, in particular digital technologies and new media is an inseparable part of contemporary theatre. It is apparent that most progressively it has been developing in post-dramatic theatre forms such as modern dance, performing art, motion, art and experimental theatre which were labeled in our country (quite inaccurately) as an "alternative theatre".
The first part of my bachelor thesis follows the development of different uses of audiovisual technologies in Czech theatre. It shows that Czech avant-garde theatre experiments in the examined field of study belonged until the 1950ies to the most progressive worldwide movement and at the same time it looks for the reason why the use of technologies in contemporary theatre falls to a large degree behind the world trends.
The second (principal) part of the thesis is aimed at the survey of contemporary progressive trends in the Czech alternative theatre. Two theatre groups that continuously deal with the use of technologies were selected to a thorough analysis. The first one is Antena Theatre Groupe led by Petr Krušelnický, the other one is Handa Gote ? Research and Development.
One of fundamental aims of the thesis is to point out the fact that quality and technologically innovative theatre works have been recently created practically solely off the "mainstream", in the margins of public and media attention as well as state institutions supporting culture.

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.

Telepresence
Parkan Janda, Petr ; VOJTĚCHOVSKÝ, Miloš (advisor) ; BLAŽÍČEK, Martin (referee)
The aim of my thesis Telepresence, from art to everyday life is to outline the basic facts about evolution of Telepresence. In specific cases, I try to illustrate its shapes and forms. 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.
