Experimental Animation: From Analogue to Digital charts the aesthetic, theoretical and cultural territories that experimental animation occupies in the current multimedia landscape

Description

Experimental Animation: From Analogue to Digital focuses on both experimental animation’s deep roots in the twentieth century, and its current position in the twenty-first century media landscape.

Each chapter incorporates a variety of theoretical lenses, including historical, materialist, phenomenological and scientific perspectives. Acknowledging that process is a fundamental operation underlining experimental practice, the book includes not only chapters by international academics, but also interviews with well-known experimental animation practitioners such as William Kentridge, Jodie Mack, Larry Cuba, Martha Colburn and Max Hattler. These interviews document both their creative process and thoughts about experimental animation’s ontology to give readers insight into contemporary practice.

Global in its scope, the book features and discusses lesser known practitioners and unique case studies, offering both undergraduate and graduate students a collection of valuable contributions to film and animation studies.
