1. Cycle fragments : diploma thesisTamara Taskova, 2024, undergraduate thesis Abstract: Installation art is a form of expression that revolves around the viewer’s experience. The thesis deals with the representation of menstruation in art, art installation, and mainstream media. While art installations can deal with menstruation in different ways, from evoking personal emotions to offering escapism, mainstream media tends to represent only one and thus helps to shape collective experiences. This distinction is reflected in how mainstream media often perpetuates the stigmatization of menstruation and maintains the status quo. These observations are presented through the conceptual development of the installation Cycle Fragments. Through the example of my own work, I will explore the ways of thinking while creating an abstract piece in three-dimensional space. This thesis provides insight into the chronological growth of a piece with the purpose of most honestly and successfully explaining to the public how very different and unique experience, menstruation can be.

4. Dreamer : live coding, algorave and the artistic exploration of dreamsLazar Mihajlović, 2024, master's thesis Abstract: Observing the developments and intersections between music, graphics, video, code and club culture in the music scene around the year 2010, primarily based in England, a new cultural movement known as ”Algorave” has emerged, reshaping the boundaries of new artistic expression. While the practices of live and creative coding had been present on the global stage for some time, the “Algorave” scene emerges as a unique blend of these artistic directions, combining various elements and offering a distinctive sound-visual artistic expression. Unlike traditional music performances, artists of this movement openly share their live coding processes with the audience, guiding them through the entire process of the performance. By utilizing live coding as the primary artistic tool and integrating it with artificial intelligence, the work Dreamer demonstrates a fusion of these two approaches. It visually explores dreams using images generated by AI technology. These images are then manipulated through live coding techniques, creating a visual narrative that is accompanied by ambient-electronic sounds. The sound complements the visual elements, achieved through the use of various synthesizers, samplings and granular synthesis, a technique that fragments sound into small grains to create complex sound textures. Beyond its practical execution, Dreamer addresses dreams as something unknown and undisclosed. It raises the question of whether dreams can be considered insights into our parallel lives, or are they merely products of our imagination? Should we explore them rather than just observe them? Based on these questions, the work examines dreams through programming and technology, seeking new possibilities for artistic expression.

5. Can you feel it : exploration of anxiety through artistic practicesTamara Kostrevc, 2024, master's thesis Abstract: Anxiety is described in psychiatry as a mental disorder that manifests itself in an unpleasant state
of excitement, tension due to a sense of threat, fear without a real external reason. This short
definition does not cover its many forms. Given that anxiety is present all over the world, and that
almost everyone experiences it nowadays, it would be necessary and important to talk more about
it. Can You Feel It is an installation that visually and sonically illustrates the levels of anxiety and
encompasses both the mental and physical changes an individual experiences. It illustrates the
battle with this psychological condition through the artistic practice of an interactive audiovisual
installation.

6. Močerad : vloga alkohola in alkoholizem v filmuDomen Sajovic, 2024, undergraduate thesis Abstract: Pričujoča diplomska naloga opisuje proces izdelave študentskega animiranega filma ustvarjen v zvrsti stop animacija in tehniki animacija lutk ter probleme in ovire, s katerimi se lahko pri ustvarjanju takega projekta soočamo, obenem pa zaradi teme filma raziskuje vlogo alkohola in alkoholizma v filmu in animaciji. Delo na animiranem filmu z naslovom Močerad je predstavljeno skozi refleksijo, ki opisuje celoten proces ustvarjanja animiranega filma, z raziskovanjem literature o obravnavi alkohola v filmski industriji pa se animacija, kjer je tema alkoholizma tudi prisotna, s tematiko poveže in primerja z ostalimi filmskimi deli. Ugotovitve diplomske naloge so, da je delo na lutkovnem stop animiranem filmu v študentskih okoliščinah izredno zahteven podvig z nemalo težavami, ki pa obenem prinaša pomembne izkušnje in znanje, ki bi jih bilo težko pridobiti na drug način, hkrati pa omogoči sodelovanje z veliko različnimi ljudmi, ki ustvarjajo na različnih področjih. Alkoholizem v filmu je že od samega začetka nepogrešljiva tematika in motiv alkohola izredno pogost, filme s to tematiko pa večinoma ločimo na posmehljive fizične komedije o pijanstvu in na družbenokritične drame z glavnim likom, ki trpi. Z zgodbo in scenarijem v filmu Močerad sem poskusil ujeti razmerje med tema dvema poloma.
Namen diplome je natančno prikazati proces izdelave lutkovnega stop animiranega filma na študijski ravni z upanjem, da bi bilo delo kot priročnik uporabno tudi drugim študentom in animatorjem, prav tako pa, da ljudi osvešča o vplivu alkohola na filmsko industrijo, splošno javnost in gledalce in posledice tega.

7. Arachnophobia : three types of claymationMelita Sandrin, 2024, undergraduate thesis Abstract: My thesis is an observation of the creative process of an animated stop-motion film project, with a focus on claymation. Everything is examined through my experience of working on a diploma film Arachnophobia. This short dwells on the theme of irrational fears through comedic and expressive narrative. It is a personal project that functions as a self-critique by implementing a character which deals with an exaggerated perspective on the fear of spiders.
From the 2-year experience of making and crafting the project, emphasizes the properties of clay as a medium. Other than the main medium, I thoroughly brush through the preparation, production, animation and finalization of the project, including all issues, challenges and solutions that were dealt with as an artistic student. This research introduces the wider topic of animation by looking into the mechanics of claymation as well as the creative decisions that influence the result.

8. Komedija in nasilje v animaciji : diplomsko deloKarin Likar, 2024, undergraduate thesis Abstract: Diplomsko delo je sestavljeno iz dveh delov. V prvem je opisano nasilje, komedija in povezava med njima, v drugem pa je predstavljen diplomski animirani film (NE)Srečen dan, njegov razvoj in nastanek.
V poglavju o nasilju so predstavljene različne oblike in prepoznava nasilja, prikazovanje nasilja v različnih medijih, kot so film, animacija, literatura in druge veje umetnosti, kjer je
izpostavljena tudi percepcija nasilja, ki se je čez zgodovino spreminjala. Ljudje smo postali bolj nedovzetni za nasilje in ga večkrat spregledamo.
Drugo poglavje se posveča animaciji, različnim oblikam humorja in povezavi med humorjem in nasiljem. V različnih medijih se nasilje zamaskira s humorjem in ni tako prepoznavno, kot če bi bila enaka vsebina predstavljena brez humornih izvlečkov. Opisani so primeri animacije in animiranih filmov, ki vsebuje uporabo humorja za opravičevanje različnih oblik nasilja.
V drugem delu diplomske naloge, kjer je predstavljen diplomski animirani filmski projekt (NE)Srečen dan, je opisan proces nastanka animacije od ideje do končnega produkta ter
problemi, ki so se pojavili čez ves proces nastajanja.

10. Nadomestni prevoz : težave nizkocenovne, neodvisne filmske produkcijeAna Logar, 2024, undergraduate thesis Abstract: Vsaka filmska produkcija je sestavljena iz predprodukcije, produkcije in postprodukcije. Diplomsko delo govori o težavah v vseh fazah ustvarjalnega procesa. Vsako poglavje se začne s prikazom, kako naj bi v profesionalnem svetu filma posamezna faza produkcije potekala, nato pa opisuje mojo lastno izkušnjo in težave, na katere smo z ekipo med ustvarjanjem naleteli. Teoretični deli so povzeti iz literature in intervjuja s slovensko asistentko režije Urško Kos.
Nalogo začnem z opisom predprodukcije in njenih podpoglavj, kjer bralec lahko vidi, kaj vse je treba narediti, preden sploh lahko začnemo snemati film: od ideje do scenarija, iskanja ekipe, igralcev in lokacij ter do izposoje opreme tik pred snemanjem. Z opisom osebnega doživljanja vsake faze predprodukcije prikažem, koliko stvari gre lahko narobe že pri na videz povsem preprostih zadevah.
V nadaljevanju diplomska naloga govori o produkciji filma oziroma o snemanju. Vsak snemalni dan povzamem v svojem poglavju ter opišem delo na setu med snemanjem kratkega filma. V primerjavi z navedenimi profesionalnimi okoliščinami, kjer popišem vse potrebne člane ekipe za potek snemanja, je vidno pomanjkanje ekipe v pri snemanju študentskega filma.
V opisu zadnje faze, postprodukcije, naloga govori o delu na filmu po tem, ko je film posnet: od prvega pregledovanja materiala do montaže, po končani montaži slike pa urejanje barv slike in montaža zvoka. Faza ustvarjanja filma, ki pretežno poteka na računalnikih, a vendarle z raznolikimi zapleti.
Zaključek je namenjen predvsem bralcem, ki se bodo v prihodnosti prvič srečevali s filmsko produkcijo. Celotna naloga je napisana z mislijo na generacije za menoj, ki se bodo s težavami filmske produkcije še srečevale, in z upanjem, da jim bo morda moja izkušnja pomagala pri prvih korakih. Zato v zaključku zapišem tudi nekaj vzpodbudnih besed.
