Our first graduates

Four years since starting of the Digital Arts study programme at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design, we are letting our first graduates into the world. They have successfully defended their practical works and passed the theory exam.

After graduation, they pursue different paths. Master studies at foreign schools (Bildende Kunst in Austria, Aalto University in Finland), master studies at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design (Multimedia Studio), as well as independent artistic careers in the video game industry or in popular music.

We present their bachelor theses, which were exhibited in June 2024 in the Satelit Gallery of the Slovak Design Centre.

Prokop Findeis – Resonance

Light and sound, connected through sensors and digital microcontrollers into an interactive installation called Resonance. Participants become co-authors of their own immersive experience as they play a drum set in a dark room and a digitally controlled system of lights reacts to them.


Leonard Lofaj – Animated music video

For his musical alter ego Ley Skeletonn, Leonard created a music video using a combination of different animation techniques: 2D animation, 3D animation and filmed footage. By compositing digital and analogue techniques, an audiovisual representation of the fictional character Ley Skeletononn was created.


Adela Lujza Lučenič – Building Comfort: Safe Space in Virtual Reality

The work of Adela Lujza focuses on the concept of safe space, exploring its comforting aspects as well as the challenges it poses. The interactive VR installation included in this work is intended to visually display the artist’s understanding and perception of safe space.

Each safe space is individually defined by emotions, experiences and experiences. However, even in these spaces various challenges, so-called disturbing points, can arise. They become a place of avoidance or postponement of problems.


Emma Zahradníková – Dancing with Myself, Dancing with My Cells

A speculative exploration of the influence of the psyche on the human body, its cells and insights into the related healing process. Somatic and non-verbal therapies emphasise the interconnectedness of mind and body. They form an essential platform for a deeper awareness of one’s own feelings.

The installation offers an immersive audio-visual experience where the audience becomes aware of the impact of their emotions on their own bodies. By touching their hands they establish a dialogue with their own bodies, represented by abstractly depicted cells on the screen.


Natália Zajačiková – The process of artistic creation of promptography

The work illustrates the process of generation, writing and searching. The starting point for Natalia was her photographic archive, which includes all the events, personal archives, random moments she has documented over the last 15 years.

She was interested in what kinds of information are contained or not contained in it, and how it shapes our personal and collective identity. She chose artificial intelligence as her tool, a tool with which she generates new results, creates simulations of memories and explores the possibilities and limitations of it.
