Thinking about a human body which is difficult to acquire Hybrid [Artificial] Autofiction
Čermák, Aleš ; Zálešák, Jan (referee) ; Stejskal,, Jakub (referee) ; Cenek, Filip (advisor)
There is no one in the cave who can die. Let me put that different ly. No one has ever been born and no one has ever died. From this statement, the question arises whether this purely theoretical sta tement can help us in the situation we are in right now. We have to answer the question of whether there is or has been a world without us on the basis of direct embodied experience. I start from the assumption that recognizing oneself as a person can be one of the strangest acts ever. Being attentive and fully present in the space of a given medium is not a choice but a necessity, as well as a positive consequence of the environment in which we are immersed. This means thinking into the body of another world. In this artresearch project, I primarily focus on the research of embodied experience and analysis of morethanhuman forces and actions in the Atlantic Ocean. Through direct embodiment (embodied and situated practice), this work explores at various levels the permeable – seeping boundaries between man and nature. I describe how individual activities are experienced in a sensory way and how this directly embodied knowledge is used in the research (embodied, performative, research and pedagogical) practice itself. Through this artresearch work, I would like to experiment beyond analytical and grammatical description and expand my research towards poetic, aesthetic and creative gestures that express the power and complexity of the elements.

City by the Ocean
Holcnerová, Lenka ; Kyselka, Igor (referee) ; Mléčka, Jan (advisor)
In between the Oceans and the Earth (The cities by Oceans) Projects in between the oceans and the earth For studies of towns on the seashores in magister studies under leadership of Ing. Arch Jan Mlecka I was impacted by two basic factors: firstly by my three years of studies and internships in Lisbon – a metropolis on the shore of Atlantic ocean, which became written into Lisbon’s DNA, into its light, tempo, priorities, historz, courage, strength, eternity, simplicity, sailing boats and elegance. And secondly I was influenced by a workshop organized by AA of London in February 2011 in Dubrovnik with lectures of Vedran Mimica and John Palmesino about towns, growth, quality of town life, policies and by studies of Southern Croatian coast under leadership of Krunoslav Ivanišin, where a floating platform was proposed to simultaneously solve several problems of this region. The more I become involved with oceans, the more I am fascinated by shorelines. This rare, dangerous, fractal line is the theatre of the biggest changes and dramas, but it also presents the greatest possibilities. (This is why I call my work not Towns by Oceans but In Between The Oceans and The Earth). When I was mapping shorelines, I have come across several findings: 1. The principles of constructions on shorelines are similar all over the world. 2. There are similar evolutionary stages in usage of shoreline – it is both physical and functional stages. 3. In many cases the potential of ocean is impaired by human interventions. Taking into account these facts, I was searching for further evolutionary stages of shorelines. In Lisbon I visited Ocean Energy Systems where 30 young engineers work on im-provements of machines designed to extract energy from oceans. In order to be effi-cient, these machines have to have giant dimensions. Immediately after seeing a generator on the island of Pico, I realized that such machines should not be put behind fences, creating an obstacle on the rare shoreline in between the sea and the land, but that they must be adopted by architecture – so that we will be able to live with them in symbiosis on the shoreline.

Emotional Cartography
Rygálová, Monika ; Pfeiffer, Jan (referee) ; Sterec, Pavel (advisor)
The work aims to artistically compile perception of maps as a fact, what let us think about The world - how we know it from the map. I work with data, which I gain by displaying technology – eye tracking, which helps me to record track of moving eyes during watching any kind of picture. The observations will be people from different places such a place of stay etc. Gained data I am going to use as a study, which I will componate to maps and different vizualizations of world, countries etc. "Where i have not ever been before, it does not exist" – is idea of percepting world, wich I also work with on that project. Study will contain all aspect of perceiving maps and systematicly shown world related to the person, his memories to that place, fyzical contact and his impact in his scale person versus a the world.

Czech Public on Global Environmental Problems - August/September 2023
Čadová, Naděžda
In its regular survey conducted in August and September 2023 the Public Opinion Research Centre focused on the environment. Representatives of the Czech population answered questions on particular environmental phenomena in the sense of their problematic character. As the most serious problems were stated the ocean pollution (for 65% "very serious" problem).

Surfing in the landlocked countries
Gross, Adam ; Bačáková, Radka (advisor) ; Hruša, Filip (referee)
Title Surfing in the landlocked countries Objectives The aim of this bachelor's thesis is to explore from the perspective of people who permanently live in a landlocked country, whether it is possible to sufficiently train and prepare for surfing in oceanic conditions. Methods This project is an empirical-theoretical work in which a quantitative research method in the form of questioning was used. Data was obtained through an online survey that contained mostly closed questions, along with a few semi-closed and open questions. The total number of questions was 24. The survey was distributed through various social media platforms aiming at people with previous or current surfing experience who live permanently in a landlocked country. Data collection took place using the Google Forms application. Results The results of the thesis show following: From the respondents' point of view, the conditions for learning, training and preparing surfers in a landlocked country are not comparable to the conditions of a country that has an ocean and offers the opportunity to ride real surfing waves. Conclusion In conclusion, the results of the survey have addressed the research questions. Based on the answers received from the respondents, it is possible to say that some individual parts (components) of surfing...

Not Only Blue
Novotná, Daria ; Franta, Jiří (referee) ; Lahoda, Tomáš (advisor)
9 paintings, oil on canvas or acrylic on canvas - pictures from the sea, beach, wharf and their surroundings during the tourist season - aspects connected with the tourism at the sea - a little bit of romantic up to the border of the irony and kitch, business - processing of the water surface, their colours and shapes, real or seemingly abstract - shifting of the motif or his fragment through the form and colour reduction to the abstract line
