Cíle předmětu
Documents of Presence and Experience is a series of lectures accompanied by audiovisual projections. Art films, videos, and documentaries and excerpts from lectures by international artists and collectives from the early 20th century to the present are shown throughout the course, illustrating theoretical deliberations on given themes and artistic movements. Art and artist databases, institutional resources, alternative communities, and artist residencies are also showcased within the sessions. Conceptual texts and deliberations are included as part of the curriculum. The course's primary objective is to aquaint the student with the manifesto as a transdisciplinary device.
Výstupy z učení
Upon succcessful completion of the course students will be able to: - identify and summarise the guiding concepts of technological exploration through artistic practice - recognise conceptual tendencies within contemporary artistic practice that scrutinises the role and potential of new media - write a theoretical text detailing artistic research within the field of new media - analyse the socio-politcal context of access to technology and tools Students should be able to identify and describe the socio-political contexts which gave rise to art and technology movements, discuss key works, and the role community and cooperation plays in exploring aesthetic paradigms within the field of art and technology.
Osnova
  • Key Themes: Processing Tools, Public Access, On-line Syndicates, GNU, Hacking, Blockchain, Fair Use Technological developments have always been accompanied by artistic movements that explore the aesthetic potential, test their social repercussions, and examine the philosophical questions they raise. The creation of technological tools and platforms mark radical shifts in the way we communicate and move in the world. New models for the presentation, distribution, and publication of content reveal new ways of looking at our fundamental existence while challenging us to harness and control the power of a new paradigm. Delving into the nature of the medium itself is characteristic for work within the field of art and technology. The artist is thrust into the role of bold visionary and dreamer. A close relationship is established between artist and engineers, programmer, or developer; roles that coalesce into a exploratory unit that push the boundaries of perception and possibility and often times legislation.

Výukové metody
The presentations are divided into semester-long blocks which deal with individual themes related to perfomativity as a phenomenon. Key concepts such as experience, contemporaneity, avant garde, ritual, play, indeterminacy, social engagement, participation, and improvisation are explored, relying heavily on artistic texts and theoretical works. Lectures are accompanied by audiovisual material. The classes are based on presentation and class discussions. Students will asked to participate actively in discussions based on reading assignments.
Metody hodnocení
Final evaluation will be based on presentation of a project or theme of the student's choice accompanied by a theoretical text (comparative study, curatorial project (approx. 5 n/s)) based on the given theme of the semester. Semester projects will be assessed based on relevance of theme and quality of research and delivery (presentation, text). Although there is not an attendance requirement, active participation in class is recommended in order to maintain project relevance.
