ARS ELECTRONICA

ANIMATION FESTIVAL
Ars Electronica. Linz. Austria
http://www.aec.at/postcity/de/


The Ars Electronica Animation Festival showcases the best of the 722 works that artists from 58 countries submitted for prize consideration to the 2015 Prix Ars Electronica. This is an annual overview of the world of digital filmmaking—what’s technically feasible; what’s aesthetically en vogue. One new wrinkle this year: the 2015 Animation Festival won’t be limited to a best-of presentation; the Prix Forum I -Computer Animation / Film / VFX, Expanded Animation and discussions about the entire program will be integrated into the proceedings.
The screenings of the 13 programs offer plenty of opportunities to get acquainted with the latest visual creations of animated filmmakers. An entire program is dedicated to Korean-American artist Erick Oh. New this year is a program spotlighting outstanding workshonored with the International Students Creative Award.
The works themselves represent the entire spectrum of genres and styles; the ethnic and national origins of the men and women who made them areno less diverse. The films are the output of animation artists’ ateliers, university departments, commercial studios and R&D facilities.

Credits The Ars Electronica Animation Festival screens a selection of outstanding films submitted to the Cyberarts-Competition Prix Ars Electronica. These visual highlights from 2015have been presented for the first time at the Ars Electronica Festival in Linz/Austria in September 2015.

NARRATION
Not only representing reality but also giving accounts of “other stories” whose boundaries exist only in their narrators’ imagination as well as in the act of storytelling itself have been characteristic of artists’ approaches to computer animation.This program contains personal matters, amusing plots and a healthy portion of satire.

ABSTRACTION
In this lineup, animation takes leave of the screen. It’s played out in public spaces, façades and landscapes, reconfiguringthem in the process. It’s also projected onto human bodies to thereby open up undreamt-of new perspectives. Impressive
