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.

The Book of Rest
Skalková, Markéta ; Chrtková, Anna (referee) ; Veselá, Lenka (advisor)
The thesis Rest (work in progress) is a record of research on rest. It presents the research that I have been doing since September 2022 in the form of a book – a collection of information (interviews, notes, charts, list of projects with related topics) that I have gathered about rest over the past period of time. The goal of the research is to expand awareness of rest and its importance in our lives and to gather the information necessary for the next phase of the project. The presentation includes an environment created for relaxation and for reading the book. It does not claim to be complete, it presents the point at which I am at in my research on relaxation. It shows possible approaches to the issue, thematizes rest as such, asks what rest actually is, how it can be practiced and what it is good for.

The Texture of Artistic Research: A Self-Reflexive Practice Theory of Art as Education
Edwards, Cornelia Helena ; Fulková, Marie (advisor) ; Herzog, Jerneja (referee) ; Duh, Matjaž (referee)
In Czech Tato studie zkoumá transformační potenciál uměleckého výzkumu, když je aplikován učícím se umělcem ve vzdělávacím prostředí. Jak můžeme porozumět metodologii uměleckého výzkumu aplikované učícím se umělcem ve třídě střední školy? Studie sleduje její původ od bakalářského studia přes magisterské až po doktorské studium. Investigace její implementaci do kurikula designu s cílem vytvořit nové poznatky pro učícího se umělce a studenty. Cílem studie je propojit umělecký výzkum a pedagogiku, čerpajíc z oblastí sociologie, fenomenologie a teorie vzdělávání. Použitou metodologií je Umělecký akční výzkum ve spojení s modelem Výzkumu v didaktice k analýze tří případových studií. Výsledky zdůrazňují obohacení vzdělávacích zkušeností prostřednictvím uměleckého výzkumu, podporují reflexivní přístup učících se umělců a obhajují výzkumný přístup ve vzdělávání.

Autoportrait of the nonhuman
Trnková, Barbora ; Horáková, Jana (referee) ; Klodová, Lenka (referee) ; Ruller, Tomáš (advisor)
The work conducted through artistic-research methods, spanning across several interconnected projects and their explications, examines the proclaimed overcoming of rationalistic dualities personified in the in the cyborg metaphor. It showcases how mediated digital thinking obstructs the perception of the other, posing a risk to feminist visions inspired by this metaphor. In the spirit of glitch feminism, instances of algorithmic biases are proposed, revealing glitches within normative hegemony mediated by the outcomes of learning algorithms, to be positively perceived as opportunities for their identification and removal. Furthermore, it introduces the category of the non-human other, fabricated through dehumanizing and tabooed violence. In comparison to the nature of the pornographic and the erotic, and in the context of the concept of becoming, a path towards acquiring autonomy of the other is hinted. Alongside the creation of alternatives that disrupt dominant hegemony, a shift in focus towards subtractive strategies is suggested, acknowledging the uprising of the non-human within us, while suspending the transcendental subject in the same move. This addresses the issue of preserving the subject, which interprets the other.

Standuino
Merta, Ondřej ; Boleslavsky, Andrej (referee) ; Šedivá, Barbora (advisor)
Standuino is the inovative force in hand-made electronic music and open source hardware as well as theoretically and historically driven movement that results in artworks, bands, workshops, happenings and writings. Standuino started as a clone board of popular Arduino but adapted to even more DIY approach of eastern region (=bastl). With this powerful tool it became part of many art installations and enabled our research team to build prototypes of many different devices most importantly musical instruments. The whole concept of Standuino is inspired and covered by the story of a pioneer of media art – Standa Filip.

MY CODE/WORLD
Franková, Anna ; Zálešák, Jan (referee) ; Macháček, Mikuláš (advisor)
My Code/World is a personal artistic research of the environment in which I work as a programmer - not a physical environment, but the virtual environment of a computer interface. This research has been taking place since roughly October 2016 and its result is a collection of loosely connected pieces (sketches, experiments), that will be presented as an installation within the studio space of the Studio Graphic Design 2, Faculty of Fine Arts, BUT.

Life According To Them
Bendová, Ivana ; Kavka,, Tomáš (referee) ; Klímová, Barbora (advisor)
In the thesis LIFE ACCORDING TO THEM I deal with beauty blogs on YouTube. I use my own pieces of work, especially video recordings of performances for the camera or for the audience, which were created during the entire master’s degree study. Their further processing together with ideas and experiences leads to an audio-visual collage, that will accompany the final performative lecture. The aforementioned collage may also exist as a separate video-essay expressing my experiences with the topic of blogging.
