To the morning dawn I tread softly
Košťáková, Judita ; Solčáni, Ján (referee) ; Macháček, Mikuláš (advisor)
Morning dawn is a specific, time-limited part of the day. It's something on the edge – the tension between the end and the beginning, darkness and light, silence and noise. Time seems to have stopped, and at the same time it still flows towards everyday life. Autor enters the morning dawn softly, she turns on the microphone and conveys her authentic experience in the form of livestreams. The visual and sound recordings, together with the personal commentary, move on this edge, are in harmony and contradiction, and thus encourage the livestream viewer-listener to perceive listening as a new dimension of the perception of space.

Artistic influences and news Interaction and influence between artistic creation and news formats
Zandálková, Marie ; Solčáni, Ján (referee) ; Čermák, Aleš (advisor)
The bachelor's thesis deals with the production of an "intuitive" news format, the form of which responds to the general flood and information flood to which news recipients are exposed. The creative process consisted of recycling the published information for two reasons. The first was the intention not to contribute to information and sensory noise. The second was the intention to transform intelligence information into a form that takes away its intensity and the character of the "stressor". The creation of a personal "remix" of information was governed by procedures based on surrealist and Dadaist traditions. The key was not a pre-created concept, but intuition. The aim was to find a more intimate treatment of information, whether public or personal, to create a meditative medium from overwhelming. The work builds on an experiment with audiovisual and textual means of expression.

From sea to summit
Staniczek, Jan ; Solčáni, Ján (referee) ; Šrámek, Jan (advisor)
In my thesis I try to convey strange feelings that are inherently connected with post-anthropocentric, ecological thinking of inter-object coexistence, through an installation of a series of clay speakers. From a theoretical point of view, I rely upon Fisher's conception of weird and Morton's conception of dark ecology, in which I found a surprisingly apt articulation of my own feelings, as well as inspiration for further thinking and imagination. The main points in the otherwise difficult to define direction of my work are the planes of blurring borders, ephemerality of experience and intimate contact with otherness.

My diploma work is an installation, made from multiple instances of a device iniciating string resonance via electromagnetic field. These devices along with strings are placed on the wall in geometrical shape. Installation creates loop on multiple levels. Except the fact that installation have a circular shape, position of each string starts at the end of another string. Second, more inconspicious loops takes place in the electromagnetic device resonating the strings, that do that with feedback loop. Strings consist every step of chromatic scale, that repeats itself, just an octave higher. Amplification of the final sound of strings is done purely acoustically, with help of the wall on wich the piece is installed. This piece is in its nature concerned with spirituality in music, not necessarily in sense of evoking a spiritual experience, but rather demonstrating metaphors and parallels, that exists between physical aspects of tonal music and different religious ideas. The symmetrical shape of installation refer to religious and occult visuality, built f.e. in cabal on Fibonacci numbers, that is present not only in nature ( for example, the veins of the leaves grow by these numbers), but also in tonal music system (ancient philosophers were working with this concept, see Plato's Music of the Spheres). Strings in this piece produce drone sound, that is naturally evoking spirituality (most visible in buddhist monk meditation). This sound in the piece demonstrates immutability and constancy, the fact that all the chromatic tones are playing demonstrates wholeness (this fact may produce interesting resonances emerging between chromatic steps), so to speak, the unchangeable laws of physics, or to put it in religious lingo, the god law. The symbol of loop also refers to religion, like the eternal return of the same, the periodicity of history. Strings can be viewed as astrophysical symbol. Everything stated is nothing but my recourse, that should not ultimately determine the perception of the piece by viewer. The goal of the work is to offer experience without need to be put into context
