Geometry in Motion
DROZNÁ, Šárka
This diploma thesis deals with the influence of geometric abstraction and op art on art and the use of new media in video art. Above all, it focuses on selected Czech artists of these directions and their work. The thesis is divided into two main parts, theoretical and practical. The theoretical part of the thesis deals with the beginnings of geometric abstraction and its expansion, especially in the second half of the twentieth century in Bohemia. Important names of this direction are mentioned here, namely Jan Kubíček, Hugo Demartini, Zdeněk Sýkora and Milan Grygar. Following the geometric abstraction, there are tendencies to create geometric optical illusions outlined in the chapter devoted to op art. The work of Vladislav Mirvald and Radoslav Kratina is highlighted here. In addition, it devotes itself mainly to the penetration of new media into video art and overall to the arts as such. Mr and Mrs Vasulka are mentioned as representatives of video art. They have contributed to the development of this direction, primarily through their creativity and inventiveness during their creative work. The text describes the issue not only from a global point of view, but also focuses on the development of Czech art. The practical part reflects the knowledge of the theoretical part and unifies the elements of the above-mentioned directions by creating an authorial video using mainly the principles of geometric abstraction.

Documentary Approaches in Contemporary Fine Art Moving Image
Bačíková, Alžběta ; PhDr. BcA. Andrea Slováková, Ph.D., MBA (referee) ; Pospiszyl, Tomáš (referee) ; Cenek, Filip (advisor)
The Dissertation titled Documentary Approaches in Contemporary Fine Art Moving Image focuses on the practical and theoretical research of documentary approaches to videos and films in the art field. It notices especially the self-reflexive strategies as a consequence of critical approach towards the medium itself and lack of belief in its ability to mediate reality or truth. Attempts to convey reality by audiovisual means are accompanied by the reflection of the way this happens. The Dissertation also reflects on the uncertain relation between the documentary and truth, which has been described in art by the artist and theoretician Hito Steyerl. The examined artworks were made in the period between the beginning of 21st century, when the documentary turn was reflected intensively, and the present time. The selection of examples was strongly influenced by the local study of Israeli art in The Video Archive of the Center for Contemporary Art in Tel Aviv. Motives of conflict, violence and trauma resonating in studied videos and films influenced further selection and analysis of the authors’ documentary methods from a different context. In the selected works I can see particularly various forms of alienation effects and self-reflexive approaches. Using these procedures the artists highlight the constructedness of the audiovisual work and the way it was produced. Recurring formal principles have been stated. Reenactment of real events, revealing the way the work was produced or the artist’s position in the production process; these strategies indicate the uncertain relationship between the documentary work and reality. In the frame of these tendencies also reevaluation of the observational documentary strategies as something seemingly opposite to self-reflexive strategies is reviewed. Theoretical outcomes are continuously accompanied by author’s own art projects concentrated around the form of documentary portrait and its (de)construction. They experiment with the formal principles analyzed on a theoretical level.

Matoušová Peštová, Karolína ; Ševčík, Miloš (advisor) ; Jarošová, Helena (referee) ; Kubalík, Štěpán (referee)
This doctoral thesis treats of the early video art of the 1960s and 70s from four points of view: in chapter one the artistic and technological genesis of video art is analyzed; chapter two is dedicated to a scholarly analysis of video art on whose basis the relation of video art to other arts is determined (especially film and fine art), the chapter, furthermore, examines the properties of video as a medium; chapter three deals with the reception of video art by the audience, its mode of depiction and aesthetic properties which are demonstrated on specific examples; special attention is focused on temporality of video art; the final chapter is dedicated to feminist video art whose task it was to help emancipate women. The aim of the thesis is to present a comprehensive overview of early video art with emphasis on its artistic and aesthetic properties. The thesis does not merely rest on valid scholarly theories - it also analyzes specific art pieces which are documented in an extensive graphic appendix.

Experimental film and video in the second half of the 20th century in didactical context
Černá, Tereza ; Arbanová, Linda (advisor) ; Čech, Viktor (referee)
Černá, T.: Experimental film and video in the second half of the 20th century in didactical context. [Master's thesis] Prague 2016 - Charles University, Faculty of Education, Department of Art Education, 95 p. (Attachments: art work of pupils and my own art work on DVD). This Master's thesis is a theoretical study in which I explore the connections between moving pictures - experimental film and video art - and the developments in fine art in the second half of the 20th century. In the thesis I look into the topic of moving pictures, their specific characteristics and the distinctions between them, and I define the basic concepts. Based on selected key figures who linked experimental film, video art and fine art, I describe the key approaches and principles that emerged in relation to this field, both in the Czech Republic and abroad. The teaching section presents three projects designed for and taught in art lessons, based on the work of some of the selected artists. The projects test the theoretical insights from the thesis through art lessons taught to schoolchildren aged 11 to 15. The thesis also comprises an art project, reflecting the insights obtained from the theoretical study, which became the platform for my own videos.

Dynamics of image or life on the flat
Kamenský, Lukáš ; Arbanová, Linda (advisor) ; Raudenský, Martin (referee)
'The focus of this thesis is the ways in which art and motion come together in paintings of the 20th century. It also deals with the connection between art and film, and how film production has been affected by art in visual, creative, and technical ways. The didactic part of the thesis examines the relationship between static and dynamic images, and my own work will explore the way static and dynamic images interact in classic animated film.'
