Váňa, Dušan ; Lukášová, Helena (referee) ; Sobotka, Jiří (referee) ; Gabriel, Michal (advisor)
This dissertation thesis is focused on the search for the presence of DIY (Do It Yourself) technologies in the practice of digital sculpting, from the beginnings of this progressive way of creation to the present. The work, through three thematic areas, answers the main research questions: What kind of technology is or has the DIY phenomenon been represented in digital sculpture? How have these technologies influenced and are influencing the development and direction of digital sculpture? Within the first thematic area, the presence of the DIY phenomenon in the beginnings of digital creation of a spatial work of art is mapped until the moment of constituting the concept of Digital Sculpture, as a designation of this new way of creation. The second area deals with specific technologies of digital sculpture, in terms of technical tools and their DIY alternatives. The development of these alternative technologies and their influence on the gradual democratization of digital sculpture tools is investigated. The third area examines the creative methods of DIY, which have been integrated into the practice of digital sculpture.

Freetekno and the commercial technoscene from the point of view of differences among preferred drugs
KLEČACKÁ, Aneta
Freetekno or commercial techno parties are very often linked to opinions that this is the type of party where the connection young people - drug occurs. The theoretical part of the thesis is aimed at explanation of considerable difference between freetekno and commercial techno scene as postmodern subcultures, which are often perceived as a whole, where even the visitors themselves often do not know the difference between both the subcultures or the origin of their symbols. In the second, research part of the thesis I identify which drugs are preferred at freetekno parties and which at the commercial techno scene and what the reasons for using different types of drugs at the described scenes are, from what age, how often and with whom the participants visit the parties, motivation to visiting such events, whether they take psychotropic substances at the party and distribution of drugs at the parties. My work was aimed at collecting information from participants in both the party types, its thorough processing and interpretation that might serve to the public as a key to understanding their specific lifestyle. I would like to inform the public that not all the participants go to the party for a drug, but for music and friends, as it is usual in other music events. With regard to an atypical a nonconformist target group I used the qualitative research method. The research techniques applied are involved observation and semi standardized interview with open questions. The basic research population consists of participants of freetekno parties and commercial techno parties organized in various regions of the Czech Republic. Research questions were set in the thesis target showing that different drugs are taken at both the party types, where hallucinogens and cannabinoids prevail at freetekno while stimulants and ecstasy control commercial parties. Motivation to visiting the parties is also different in both the subcultures: while freedom, liberty and solidarity are characteristics for freetekno, visitors of commercial parties are motivated by music. Motivation to use of drugs is also completely different. Most of the respondents state in their replies that a good party is possible without drugs, but they promptly add that drugs are the things giving a party.
