50 Virtual Dead Ends: Graduate Thesis I.
Collection of 50 photographs/screenshots that I took through Google Street View from USA. Photographs are always from places where Google Street View car with photo camera has stopped to shoot for more photographs. These virtual dead ends are usually in the middle of the road. They have no particular geographic value, history or memory, but their documentary and authentic quality expose and talk more about contemporary american environment and life. Also these photographs talk about limits, they function as a memento of pushing the limits of constantly evolving digital technology.

Something has disappeared: Book, Graduate Studio II.
“A missed connection is an occurrence where two or more people are unable to exchange contact information or the information that is exchanged is lost.” These shouts into the void from partially anonymous people are misread. On the way from the original shout to its reader something of the power of this urgent message has disapperead. “The most interesting things happen in-between.” What is it? I used Craigslist website as a source of many of missed connections posts where I posted a quote “If you’re waiting for a sign. This is it.” These posts were juxtaposed with my photographs of abandoned places.
— Book format 18,5 x 27 cm, 72 pages, french fold with die cutting.

Stein, Gertrude. 1914. Tender Buttons: Video
Video visualization of Gertrude Stein’s writing. She emphasizes the sounds and rhythms rather than the sense of words. By departing from conventional meaning, grammar and syntax, she attempted to capture “moments of consciousness,” independent of time and memory.
Text used: "Go red go red, laugh white. Suppose a collapse in rubbed purr, in rubbed purr get. Little sales ladies little sales ladies little saddles of mutton. Little sales of leather and such beautiful beautiful, beautiful beautiful."

Book cover "Perfume: The Story of a Murderer"
As a part of BA module "Live Competition" I have joined Penguin´s contest to design a new cover for this book. My intent was to reinvent Watteau´s Jupiter and Antiope painting, which was a bit over-used for older versions of the book cover. Instead of to continue this trend I rather used an aggressive perfume to destroy the texture of Watteau´s painting.

Design Contest: Brno Philharmonic Identity
I have found a principle based on the research done by a German physicist and musician Ernst Chladni. He discovered that when sound at a particular frequency is applied to a medium geometrical shapes are produced. These shapes change according to the tonality and volume. I found the potential in these shapes, because they were geometrically even, “natural” product and also simply transformated to other forms like patterns or objects. See video below demonstrating principles of how easily and playfully could be various patterns created.
