introduction:
The theme of the thesis is based on personal experience. In 2016, I intuitively felt that artists working with thematic themes would start to harden in their approach and make the creation more radical. So I wrote in the bathroom on the mirror the statement FUCK HARDER IN 2K17. It turned out I was right, and indeed 2017 was a sign of radicalism in more directions - from visual art, video clips, music, pop culture to fashion photography. In my work I would like to concentrate on this subject and selected artist from all over the world. Understand your perception of this phenomenon over the current work of selected artists, and on the basis of this you can easily indicate the further development of these artists. The selection of artists will be key to the work and will be intuitive, complemented by interviews with artists. Intuition at work will be the next key to link everything you can imagine.

Botanic Expansion
Netočný, Martin ; ŠIMŮNEK, Michal (advisor) ; LEDVINA, Josef (referee)
In the context of contamporary Czech science scene is nowadays possible to find several persons, whose activity is exceeding area of exact research. Projects realized by those people are in discours targed by primary focus of the field of their study, however by its quality often tend to interdiciplinar space. One of the main aspects which is possible to find in this kind of work is significant accent of aesthetic viewing of that problematic. Almost obsessive tension of this interdisciplinary thinking is present in work of botanic Jan Albert Šturma, whose science and artistic research is focused on expansive plants in European context. His activities are full of formal similarities with Czech underground scene of 60s and 70s, mostly happenings around bands The Primitives Group, Plastic People of the Universe and Dg. 307. Yet realized land art installations are typical by their intuitive unchained atmosphere and inclination to pseudosacral theme. This work aims to chart selected projects of Albert Šturma in the way of creative research and with use of participating observation method document the actual ones.

The Relationship between Human Body and Technology in Dramatic Space
Jan Märcová, Sára ; ADÁMEK, Jiří (advisor) ; MAZÚCH, Branislav (referee)
This diploma thesis is an attempt to reflect the use of current digital technologies in the
scenic space and their influence on the work of actors. It tries to shortly describe the
development and principles of neo-media works, as well as the form of Live Cinema,
mainly in the theatrical context. It examines the position of real, living objects/subjects, in
contrast to immaterial and virtual images that are made up of light or sound. The
possibilities of mutual influence of technologies and bodies are described on selected
performances in the Czech theater context. How does technology change the actor's
work? Does it affect the basic theatrical relationship between the body of the actor and
the spectator's body? Are the mediative forms of theater destructing its "liveness"? How
does viewer perception transforms? These and similar questions are crucial to this thesis.

Performance stroje a divadlo bez herců
Dumas, Elie Dominique ; ZUPANC LOTKER, Sodja (advisor) ; LJUBKOVÁ, Marta (referee)
Když jsem se začínal zajímat o umění, ihned jsem byl fascinován emocemi a zkušenostmi, které vám Umění může přinést. Vliv umění mne inspiroval odjakživa. Prozkoumával jsem mnohé zkušenosti a koncepty světa ve snaze změnit naše vize a stav mysli. Zkušenosti s formou a prostorem v umění vytvářejí nový svět v naší mysli, což je ideální způsob k procítění emoce Uměleckého Díla.
V dnešní době je zapotřebí probudit představivost v myslích lidí, kteří jsou často sobečtí a frustrovaní. Od začátku století je koncepce světa v umění falešná, postrádající citlivost, a proto musíme dokázat, že svět může být zachráněn.
V dnešní době je zapotřebí býti frustrovaný, unavený, ustrašený, nemocný, šťastný a v lásce. V tomto novém věku moderních strojů a vyspělých technologií chceme zažívat nové zkušenosti. Jsme závislí na sledování představ v realitě. Což je i pro mne způsob, jak cítit emoce.

Food as a Source of Meanings in Conceptual Art
Guhová, Vendula ; POSPISZYL, Tomáš (advisor) ; Uhnák, Tomáš (referee)
“Food as a Source of Meanings in Conceptual Art: Artistic Attitudes of Alison Knowles and Rirkrit Tiravanija” is a case study that examines the spectre of meanings mediated by food in the 20th century art and context-dependent changes of those. The thesis describes and compares the meanings of cooking and eating in Alison Knowles's pieces Propostion: Make a Salad and The Identical Lunch and Rirkrit Tiravanija's pieces Untitled (Pad/Thai) and Untitled (Free/Still), with regard to their contemporary and artistic context (Fluxus and relational aesthetics). It explores when do these activities - using quotidian acts - become an art piece and what mythology do these two artists build around themselves. One of the important aspects examined is a motive of connectivity.
