Aregger, Adrian ; SILVERIO, Robert (advisor) ; DVOŘÁK, Tomáš (referee)
This thesis gives an overview over the di erent wave bands of the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) beyond human perception and the means to capture them, as well as their use in science, industry and art.
With the revelation of light being an electromagnetic wave and the discovery of the EMS in the late 19th century, technology made an unprecedented leap, revealing the light beyond human perception. Todays technology is able to visualise the light of di erent wavebands with shorter wavelength than the visible spec- trum, such as micro waves and infrared radiation, as well as the bands of longer wavelengths like ultraviolet, x- and gamma radiation. ere are scienti c elds, such as archeology, astronomy or geology, that make use of the special characteristics of each band, industries that use them for improving products and artists, that discovered the unique worlds. In this thesis a brief summary of the historical events and theoretical back- ground needed for understanding the wavebands of infrared, ultraviolet, x- and gamma radiation and its applications.

Introduction to bio art
Šperanda, Nina ; SILVERIO, Robert (advisor) ; JANOŠČÍK, Václav (referee)
Bio art is a contemporary art practice that works with living organisms (except humans) or is created in cooperation with living organisms. It is relatively new art movement that is rooted deeply inside the history of evolution, domestication of animals and plants, technological discoveries, their development and science. Never before was art questioning its ethics and aesthetics in such profound, molecular and sub-molecular way.
In this work I will consider the historical influences and conditions that led to current developments in the field. I will also try to explain the problematics of defining what bio art is and try to clarify the associated terminology. Most relevant and ground breaking works in the field will be mentioned as some new recent developments.
Aesthetics of bio art is also an important subject often set aside by the ado around ethics of it. It is an extremely important subject to be considered when talking about bio art and I will try to sketch out a brief outline of it with references to philosophy and contemporary bio art theory.

Independent publishing of printed periodicals and work with photography
Menšl, Teodorik ; SILVERIO, Robert (advisor) ; Ledvina, Josef (referee)
The topic of my thesis is Independent publishing of printed periodicals and work with photography describes the history of foreign magazines following the first use of photography. The work is mainly focused on contemporary magazines that are published once a year, biannual or rarely monthly. These magazines are not owned by any publishing company, their basic editorial team rarely exceeds five members. Editors cooperate on the basis of contributors or long-term employees who are employed externally. Most of these magazines do not adjust the content for "clients" but they try to work with them on the basis of sponsorship. Sometimes a client who wants advertising in the magazine, needs to adapt to that style. These periodicals have their large base of readers with that also related social events and other activities to boost sales and gain new subscribers.
