PERFORMANCE STUDIO

Performance studio curriculum consists of free action art in public space which is presented mainly in the context of galleries, museums and alternative structures. It encompasses a wide spectrum of live work with information and it deals with the art of interaction, medialisation and presentation. Using multimedia technologies and digital projection, it works with virtual imagination and hypertext thinking. It reflects typical features of action, performance and interactivity as the strategies of current approaches to the world in both material and spiritual area. It focuses directly on the creative act in the spatio-temporal situation, in real time and natural environment. It emphasises new mediality with the attention to the relations between illusion and reality. It develops creative methods such as sensation, imagination, inspiration and intuition. It leads toward the cognition and mastering of methods of creative intervention into reality, as well as toward the ability to integrate various means of expression in a complex artwork.

The purpose of BA studies is to gain universal knowledge and experiences within the framework of the whole subject, enabled by the visual, acoustic, kinetic, verbal and conceptual synesthesia.

The purpose of MA studies is to deepen the individual specialisation and to develop individual creative approaches, which will lead students towards their independent artistic practice by widening the awareness of philosophical, political, economic and ecological connectivity.

The experimentation in the interdisciplinary research concentrates on "multimedia interaction in the information environment". It deals with relationships between a human being and new technologies where a participant becomes a co-author of environmental transformations.

The part of the curriculum is created by students' exchange programmes, teachers' educational stays, lectures of visiting professors and the cooperation between the students and teachers from domestic and foreign institutions, as well as by development of creative activities and by support of exhibitions and presentations through all accessible media.
