Breathing hard at the pastures
Davidová, Iva ; Kadlčák, Šimon (referee) ; Lungová, Barbora (advisor)
My bachelor's thesis is based on a posthumanist approach to (non)wild nature. It simultaneously analyses it based on examples of visual human representation of fauna and flora and the question of "naturalness". I explore the contemporary aesthetics of depicting "nature" in visual art on the one hand and in the space of social media on the other, as I consider them as interconnected spheres. Today, one can observe a tendency to define oneself against the romanticization of wild nature and the harm that this romanticization causes. Consequently, both sources influence the root of the visual language that I am adopting in the context of the elaboration of my bachelor thesis. In addition to the clear continuity with my previous works, in which I already developed the theme of plants, especially grasses, variously set in landscapes without humans, I use in the bachelor thesis the language of existential memes manifestly avoiding the romanticization of nature and its anthropomorphization. The multimedia approach should resonate with the absence of boundaries between romanticization and non-romanticization of what we call nature. Through a combination of media, I explore how my demarcation against the romanticization of nature further manifests itself, observing that resistance to romanticization eventually breeds a new romanticization and that, as humans, we tend to aestheticize everything nonhuman endlessly. The essayistic-poeticizing text, which I take as another means of expression, serves me precisely to bring out some of the levels of this complex issue, such as the critical reflective layer. Through my work, I ask questions about how these mechanisms apply in art, what particular aesthetic patterns or trends do, and what kind of aesthetic experience they make possible. Can one be both romantic and urgently engaged in the face of the apocalypse?

Post psychedelic relief
Zdvořáček, Tomáš ; Vaněk, Vojtěch (referee) ; Gabriel, Michal (advisor)
The aim of the bachelor thesis was to create a sculptural form of the Greek Morpheus. In Greek mythology, Morpheus is the son of the sleep god Hypnosis - he is the god of dreams, responsible for what we dream about. Morphea portrays the work as a "graphics card of the sleep construct", an intelligent entity living on the edge of human consciousness. The Greeks imagined him as a little boy with wings on his temples. He understands Morpheus' work as a column of energy processing billions of dreams simultaneously. As part of the bachelor's thesis, a two-and-a-half-meter-high column was modeled and cast into a laminate, covered on the surface with a finely modeled relief in the post-psychedelic style. In searching for the formal language of the relief, the author used the system of mutual connections from the computer game Factorio.

Reliefs
Horčicová, Monika ; Sedlák, Jan (referee) ; Gabriel, Michal (advisor)
This master´s thesis consists of three relief objects composed from femur bones. The first relief object is geodetic structure applied to the shape of a sphere. The following two are deformed by softening the material from which they are cast. The second relief object also works with geometry (a square at the base) and systematic folding bones according to a clear order. The third relief can directly interfere with the viewer - the individual femurs contain every two magnets and therefore can move freely with them after the metal plate.

The Folk Costumes
Župková, Ilona ; Maixner, Miroslav (referee) ; Gabriel, Michal (advisor)
The outcome of my thesis is airy relief in the form of a spreaded Kyjov´s women's folk costumes. It is made up of embroidery and lace, which gets their original lightness without underlying substance.The white color, I have used, strenghts this feeling. All parts are printed by the ABS plastic. I follow the transformation of hand-made embroidery on the machine-made one with this. 3D printing is another entirely fictitious step for me. Just as the embroidery machine adjusts stitches according to their outline, as well as 3D printer has its own structure of applying material.

Map of the Vypustek Cave Surroundings - northern part
Sánthová, Zuzana ; Kratochvíl, Radim (referee) ; Weigel, Josef (advisor)
The aim of this thesis is to create map of cave Výpustek surrounding enviroment. It is going to be complementary map documentation to existing map documentation made by the other students of VUT Brno. These documentations will be joined together and create one relief covering terain above the cave. The work began with building our own traverse and measuring detailed points. The result is topographical and hypsographical determination of the locality expressed numerically and topographically too. Another task was to measure and represent some profiles of main halls and passages of the cave. Intention is to connect underground space with the surface. Surveying network of points built previously inside the cave was used for measurements.

My Private Collection - "Tetraptych"
Nikitina, Pavla ; Skalický, Martin (referee) ; Gabriel, Michal (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with increasing and transfering texture details of abstract paintings into sculptural monochrome reliefs. My collection of 3D detail scans of abstract paintings from world-famous museums served as the basis for my work. The result is four sculptural reliefs created by robotic machining into polyurethane blocks based on the 3D scans.

Interventions
Stejskalová, Šárka ; Jezbera, Ladislav (referee) ; Gabriel, Michal (advisor)
In my bachelor's thesis I deal with the landscape and the influence of man on its changes. I focus on the landscape we visit for solitude and peace. I realize that by careful perception, a person's legacy can be found almost everywhere. In my work, I emphasizes places where nothing human happens at first glance, but on closer inspection, escape from society is almost impossible. In purely natural scenery, I find evidence of human presence in various technical buildings, telephone wires, city noise and means of transport, or in tree rowing, or sharp saw cuts and regular traces of agricultural machinery.

Mouse King
Šrubařová, Zuzana ; Armutidisová, Irena (referee) ; Gabriel, Michal (advisor)
The topic of the bachelor's thesis is investigation of the feeling of uneasiness caused by a bizarre situation. It is human nature to try to get rid of confusing and disturbing feelings as quickly as possible, because they quickly grow inside us, intensify and cause us to lose control of our own behavior, but most people are irresistibly attracted to anything that deviates from the norm. The work tries to draw the viewer into an uncomfortable situation, represented by an encounter with an unnecessary, stupid and ironic death. The aim of the work is to create an artifact based on an animal theme that symbolizes and evokes feelings of restlessness, but a kind of disturbing, almost ritualistic subtext can also be read from it. The inspiration for this work was the phenomenon of the 'Rat King', the first records of which date back to the 15th century.
