Latitudinaria* explores and critiques the ambivalence between current technological progress and the consequently depersonalised social structures and systems. I am using the development from mechanical Automata to mass production juxtaposed to Charlie Chaplin??s film and Jean Tinguelys kinetic art, as examples for the change of the social condition from the industrialisation to the current post-industrial era. The change of social condition I refer to as the ??depersonalisation?? or ??dehumanisation?? effect supported by my working experiences in the health system. The ??medicalisation of the life span?? and the discrepancy of creating a sustainable future less profit orientated are two indicators of how far we have been removed from our bodies. These observations are supported by the writing of Ivan Illich??s Medical Nemesis and Frank Schirrmachers?? analysis of the change of the social structure using the family configuration as an example. These conceptual ideas are visualised by a selection of kinetic art works and video installations. In the heart of this body of work is the process-orientated documentation of Zero AGL project. The project documents the journey of a discarded airplane that was re-assembled and reanimated by myself and a group of volunteers supported by local businesses. The struggle of the group of people stands as a metaphor for the current dilemma of the restricted usage of public space. Further it reflects on my own limitations dealing with the Australian outback culture and the transition of my own sculptural practice from small scale art works into the arena of life size public Art. Those experiences shaped the process and the direction of the project. The motivation for the creation of the body of kinetic sculptures and video installation is to highlight the absurdity of social constructed categories and controlling systems in a post-industrial society. The subject matter focuses on the social construction of the categories of the ??Norm?? and the limitations of failure. Latitudinaria gives the audience a lateral view on how human betterment is not always essentially connected to technological progress but on transforming ideas and enhancing it from a different point of view. * freedom from normal restraints, limitations and regulations.

This paper centres in and around words. I have incorporated words into my recent work in a variety of ways including drawing, Letraset, sound and fiction writing. The philosophical questions which arise through any use of language and the various ways of adopting these questions and words within a 'visual art' context is considered in a number of ways. These include The Voyager Interstellar Space Mission which was humankind's first attempt to communicate with other hypothesized populations, conceptual word-incorporating artists, writers of fiction and philosophers within whose work can readily be found an extreme vigilance towards language. Alongside this word exploration I will consider other processes through which I've made and continue to make, works of art. These processes include drawing and film/video. My drawings (which sometimes include words) will be addressed in terms of a crossover between the drawn line and words found in Raymond Carver's story Cathedral. This story made me think about what it means to 'be led' by somebody and how I'm led (by myself or perhaps those mysterious 'populations' the Voyager team of thinkers had in mind) when drawing. It also marks an interesting point in my discussion of a state of being 'without words.' In addition to words an important focus in this paper are the windows through which I've spent a lot of 'my life' looking at 'life pass by' (which are in many ways a physical reality corresponding to the metaphorical 'frame of language'). The time I've spent looking out windows over the past few years has resulted in. several film and video pieces in addition to my latest work (presented as the appendix of this paper) which comprises of a series of short stories. The paper opens with a quote by German philosopher Martin Heidegger: "Language is the house of Being. In its home man dwells." The enigmatic broadness of this statement is appropriate to the apprehensive and cautious attitude towards words found throughout the paper (also it mentions 'house' which immediately brings to my mind 'windows')

The act of applying makeup is a ritual shared by many, often beginning at an early age. Though makeup is presented as a final product in the public sphere, the process of applying makeup can be just as, if not more important. This thesis acts as the theoretical basis for my digital art project, Facing the World. My work gives insight into the lesser understood motivations behind wearing makeup while shedding the stigma that wearing it is merely a superficial act or sign of vanity. The project Facing the World presents the makeup routines and personal narratives of seven women to uncover the merits of cosmetics as a means of identity creation, self-care, and mindful reflection. The work is exhibited as a single channel looped video of approximately twenty minutes with the corresponding subject’s audio portion played over headphones.

Testemunho árduo e alegre de um processo criativo artístico - e de vida espiritual - empreendido, resultando no curta metragem em vídeo Natura fulgens, como parte dos frutos, após intensa dedicação e cultivo das paisagens anímicas, aqui trilhados via Imaginação Ativa 1 e Orações Contemplativas 2. O Cântico Espiritual de São João da Cruz e as amorosas qualidades da Virgem Maria Santíssima como Stella Maris, Pulchra ut Luna e Domus Dei 3 foram inestimáveis fontes de inspiração, estrelas guias. Participaram do processo a improvisação em dança, práticas de consciência corporal e a escrita poética de livre curso que reuniu as imagens emergidas. Na produção em vídeo, o tema da jornada da alma em busca do retorno à Presença Divina, verdadeira fonte de Água Viva, labora juntamente com a assunção do corpo criativo, como domus 4 do Coração de Deus no tempo. Nas incursões teóricas, o tema da cruz e da redenção - do humano olhar, das imagens produzidas, e da imaginação - antecede e ilumina a realização. A trama dos Instantes Fecundos de Significado, poéticos, divinos, em imagem e som, revelados aos devotos olhares da alma-e-coração, constituíram o cerne da pesquisa. / Abstract: Vital lily bud born in the inmost entrails of the imaginal and body elements, after long period of dormancy and good fight. Arduous and joyful testimony of an artistic - and spiritual life - creative process undertaken, resulting in the short film on video Natura fulgens, as part of the fruits, after intense dedication and cultivation of the psychic landscapes, here performed via Active Imagination 1 and Contemplative Prayer 2. The Spiritual Canticle of St. John of the Cross and the loving qualities of the Blessed Virgin Mary as Stella Maris, Pulchra ut Luna and Domus Dei 3 have been invaluable sources of inspiration, guiding stars. Improvisation in dance, body awareness practices and free course poetic writing, which gathered the images emerged, were parts of the process. In the short film, the theme of the soul's journey in search of a return to the Divine Presence, true source of Living Water, works together with the assumption of the creative body, like domus 4 of the Heart of God in time. In the theoretical incursions, the theme of the cross and redemption - of the human look, of the produced images, of the imagination - precedes and illuminates the realization. The web of Instants Fertile of Meaning, poetic, divine, in image and sound, revealed to the pious eyes of soul-and-heart, formed the core of the research. / Mestrado / Mestre em Multimeios

A partir d’une réflexion plastique, cette recherche vise à étudier les liens entre la répétition et l’art vidéo. La répétition, pensée en termes de processus, s’inscrit dans une double perspective. Elle est d’abord un principe de composition qui génère un certain nombre d’effets. Elle est ensuite un motif capable d’interroger une série de glissements perceptifs susceptibles d’interroger notre travail psychique actuel. Une première partie, consacrée à la mise en boucle de l’image et du son et à la boucle du direct, vise à étudier comment la diversité des processus de répétition à l’oeuvre dans l’art vidéo peut orchestrer de façon singulière la perception des objets temporels. Une seconde partie permettra d’étudier comment les processus de répétition opèrent lorsqu’ils prennent place dans des vidéos qui intègrent une dimension narrative. La circularité des récits, les jeux de dédoublements et de redoublements, les allers-retours entre textes et images agissent comme autant de ritournelles qui décousent l’unité des personnages et de leurs récits pour tenter de cerner un sujet aujourd’hui caractérisé par son indétermination. / Starting with a reflection based on plastic arts, this thesis aims at studying the links between repetition and video art. Repetition, considered as a process, is double. First, it is a composition principle which produces several effects. Secondly, it is a motif capable of interrogating a series of perception shifts likely to question our current psychic work. The aim of the first part, devoted to sound and image in a continuous loop and to feedback processes, is to study how the many processes of repetition at work in video art can orchestrate our perception of temporal objects. The second part will focus on the way these processes of repetition operate when they take place in videos with a narrative dimension. The narratives’ circularity, the processes of doubling and reduplication, the back and forth movement between texts and images act as ritournelles which undo the characters and their stories’ unity to try and comprehend a subject whose profound nature is today indeterminate.

Em parceria com José Agrippino de Paula - autor e diretor influente do tropicalismo - concentraram suas produção cênicas inovadoras nos anos de 1967 a 1970. Posterior a isso, o foco de suas pesquisas começa, cada vez mais, a ser conduzido para as experiências antropológicas em diferentes lugares que morou e viajou, como África, Arembepe-BA no Brasil, Peru e Bali. Maria Esther imprime essas experiências nas formas do seu corpo em movimento e apoiada no dispositivo criativo do vídeo, ambos realizam uma das primeiras produções experimentais unindo cinema e dança no Brasil. Representantes da contracultura, buscaram a construção de uma estética própria, mas muito sintonizados com aspectos presentes na arte de vanguarda do Ocidente. O trabalho situa a artista no contexto histórico e artístico da época, que mesmo à margem da produção das artes da cena, principalmente da dança, e com uma atuação teatral em um curto espaço de tempo, exerceu um papel de referência nos modos de produzir de uma geração de artistas desse período. Desse modo, a pesquisa segue os vestígios de uma figura peculiar da história da dança brasileira, a coloca em diálogo com a história da dança moderna, e também debate a questão de um corpo múltiplo de influências, culturas e costumes, que impulsionado pelo espírito libertário, articulou uma dança própria e autêntica / Abstract: The work brings to light the life and work of the artist of Brazilian dance Maria Esther Stockler. In partnership with José de Paula Agrippino ¿ author and director of the influential tropicalism - they focused their innovative scenic production from 1967 to 1970. Subsequently, the focus of her research starts beingin creasingly driven towards anthropological experiments in different places where she lived and traveled to such as Africa, Arembepe-BA in Brazil, Peru and Bali. Maria Esther prints theseexperiences into the shapes of her body in motion and supported by the creative video device, both held one of the first experimental productions combining theater and dance in Brazil. Counterculture representatives, sought to build its own aesthetic, but deeply tuned to theaspects present in the Western avant-garde art. The work puts the artist in the historical and artistic context of the time, which even at the margins of production of the arts scene, especially the dancing and a theatrical performances in short periods of time, played a role of reference in the ways of producing of a generation of artists of that period. There by, the research follows the traces of a peculiar figure in the history of the Brazilian dance, it creates a dialogue with the history of modern dance, and also debates the issue of a multiple body of influences, cultures and customs, which driven by the libertarian spirit articulated a distinctive, authentic dance / Mestrado / Teatro, Dança e Performance / Mestra em Artes da Cena

Černá, T.: Experimental film and video in the second half of the 20th century in didactical context. [Master's thesis] Prague 2016 - Charles University, Faculty of Education, Department of Art Education, 95 p. (Attachments: art work of pupils and my own art work on DVD). This Master's thesis is a theoretical study in which I explore the connections between moving pictures - experimental film and video art - and the developments in fine art in the second half of the 20th century. In the thesis I look into the topic of moving pictures, their specific characteristics and the distinctions between them, and I define the basic concepts. Based on selected key figures who linked experimental film, video art and fine art, I describe the key approaches and principles that emerged in relation to this field, both in the Czech Republic and abroad. The teaching section presents three projects designed for and taught in art lessons, based on the work of some of the selected artists. The projects test the theoretical insights from the thesis through art lessons taught to schoolchildren aged 11 to 15. The thesis also comprises an art project, reflecting the insights obtained from the theoretical study, which became the platform for my own videos.

The homes we grow up in have a great impact on the homes we create as adults. Many of the traditions I saw in my childhood home were expressions of love within our family. These everyday traditions helped not only to build bonds within my nuclear family, but also with the chosen family I have formed as an adult. Repeating these traditions, or at least my best memory of them, has helped me in building my own home now. The ways I interact with my friends often reflects those same traditions I learned from home. I brought a few of these traditions to the gallery for my show, making the space an extension of my home and the traditions shared there.
