Item Experiencing Landscape as a Visual Event: Dynamic Hyperstereoscopy and the Emergence of Perceptual Space(2025) Dokoupil, MartinDynamic hyperstereoscopy is an experimental stereoscopic technique that continuously adjusts interaxial disparity to generate a shifting perception of spatial depth. Instead of imitating visual stability, it presents space as a temporal and embodied phenomenon shaped by the viewer’s adaptive engagement. The research investigates mountainous environments whose complex spatial structures surpass the integrative limits of natural stereopsis. The footage was captured using two drones. The analysis of the qualitative responses indicated a recurring sequence: initial disorientation, followed by perceptual adaptation and improved spatial attunement. The approach is grounded in enactive and embodied perception theory, and is characterised by its aesthetic and investigative nature. The film resonates with the aesthetic principles of slow cinema, a genre that prioritises duration and sensory immersion over narrative clarity. A forthcoming film is set to extend the project into an immersive context, treating spatial ambiguity as an experiential medium and inviting viewers to perceive depth as a dynamic, cognitive process rather than a fixed visual illusion.
Item A mathematical formulation and computational exploration of Yayoi Kusama’s tentacle artworks(2025) Iliatanov, Daniela; Ostrovsky, Mary; Pustějovský, Michal; Gul, ShaiYayoi Kusama, renowned for her three-dimensional modern artworks, is particularly famous for her tentacle-themed pieces. Each of these works features a room with multiple surfaces, resembling tentacles, where each of these surfaces may be viewed as an incomplete monotonically decreasing sequence (where it has been cut before the convergence). While Kusama’s approach is purely artistic, it raises an intriguing mathematical question: Given a surface defined by a monotonically decreasing sequence of j (sufficiently dense) layers, can we predict the surface continuation (by layers) for j > n, and is a convergence being obtained? We aim to provide a mathematical perspective on abstract art and enable its analysis from a computational perspective. To achieve our purpose, we first made a 3D computer model of each of the tentacles which was created by the designer in the team (for a given 2D image). Second, the computational team received this modeling, sampled it; and formulated a prediction algorithm for a given tentacle. Third and last, each of the tentacle predictions has been sent back to the designer, which smoothly reconstructs each tentacle by the algorithm continuation, locates each continuation in a similar way to the original room in the 2D image and wraps it with the respective texture. In this fashion, the viewer can compare the original artistic artwork of the tentacle room to the mathematical analysis predicted room.Item Enstatic Drawing and Ecological Culture Within Collaboration(2025) Griniuk, Marija; Sýkorová, LenkaThis article analyses several artworks applied as cases within current research (addressed as cases later in the article) by artists Marija Griniuk (LT), Jiří Kovanda (CZ), Darja Lukjanenko (UA), Jan Pfeiffer (CZ), and the curator Lenka Sýkorová (CZ) within the theme of embodied drawing. This study builds on diverse backgrounds and education traditions within drawing as a medium in the art academy environments of Ukraine, Lithuania, and the Czech Republic, and artists’ interpretations of this medium through the involvement of their bodies and sites in artwork creation by which the embodied drawing takes the shape of the intersection of drawing and performance, thereby shaping enstatic drawing. This study adopts an arts-based action research methodology in which each artwork is developed as a research cycle. Three research cycles are connected to individual artworks by the involved artists, and one research cycle surrounds their collaborative embodied drawing. The research problem outlines a collaborative approach to embodied drawing concerning the meeting of four diverse artists with different academic backgrounds from art academies, representing a broad range of approaches to drawing as an artistic expression. Through performative actions and discussions, the artists collaboratively create movement- and drawing-based interactions with nature and architecture.
