Hacktivism: Politics, Crime, or Fun?
Raška, Jindřich ; Froehling, Kenneth (referee) ; Kotásek, Miroslav (advisor)
Cílem této bakalářské práce je zanalyzovat fenomén zvaný hacktivismus, jeho význam, dopady na společnost a motivaci jeho aktérů. Termín hacktivismus se skládá ze dvou následujících termínů; aktivismus, který bývá ve většině případů politicky motivovaný a hacking, jenž se jedná o kriminální činnost za účelem zneužití chyby nebo nedokonalosti výpočetního systému. Za účelem efektivního dosažení svého cíle, se aktéři hacktivismu, stejně jako jiní aktivisté, většinou organizují do skupin. Práce je též zaměřena na motivaci a následky konání těchto organizovaných skupin, zejména na skupinu s názvem Anonymous, s exemplárními příklady jejich akcí z minulosti.

Open Call
Gajdošík, Andreas ; Rathouský, Luděk (referee) ; Sterec, Pavel (advisor)
In diploma thesis Open Call I focus on unequal position of artists in current art world in which, despite the transparent practices like open calls, still persists the cult of name, the power of networking and personal recommendation. This topic I artistically process in form of practical artistic intervention, which is close to the tactics of 1:1 scale of Arte Útil - specifically by creation of software tool called Nomin. Its purpose is to support weakened or marginalized groups of artists. Nomin uses properties of email protocol SMTP to allow its users-spectators to send fake self-recommending emails - from email addresses of famous curators to the inboxes various galleries or other art institutions. During development of program Nomin and its technical background (software documentation, web page etc.) I followed the paradigm of free, libre, open source software (FLOSS) and also the methodology of agile software development in order to provide in this gesamtsoftwerk the users-spectators with fully functional, user-friendly software and give them possibility to influence further development of Nomin or directly participate on it. Created artwork is thus not a single artefact but rather a set of interconnected objects and practices grounded in the network of social bonds and behaviours which balances on the edge of institutional critique, useful art, participatory art and collective performance.

The diploma thesis Public sphere in networked society concerns about the relation of public sphere and cyberspace. Cyberspace is defined as new social institution, which is not embodied Habermasian normative ideal of critical public sphere, but in contrary it constitute new forms of inequalities and new forms of fragmentarization and commercialization. Explored are therefore also theories which critically deal with concept of public sphere and better describe the reality of cyberspace. The expansion of Cyberspace and horizontal communication network also relate with transformation of contentious politics. The thesis provides an overview of historical development of new action repertoire of contention - virtual sit-in. As an embodiment of all these societal shifts, which are seen as an elements of change in power balance, is presented Operation Payback orchestrated by hacktivist group Anonymous. Keywords Cyberspace, public sphere, hacktivism, action repertoires, repertoires of contention, virtual sit-in, electronic civil disobedience, Anonymous, Operation Payback
