Since 1987, the Electronic Theatre has compiled a large number of submissions from all over the world, providing an up-to-the-minute survey of animation art in the context of technology and society. It impressively illustrates the dynamic development of artistic computer animation over the past three decades as well as the expansive growth of various fringe areas. A glance at the works selected this year shows a broad range, from animation in the context of performance and installations to real-time animation and multifaceted, subject-based discussions. The following selection will be screened in the Deep Space 8K:
Infinitely Yours, Miwa Matreyek (US)
Average Happiness, Maja Gehrig (CH)
Pile, Toby Auberg (SE)
Recursive Truth, Rachel Rossin (US)
Serial Parallels, Max Hattler (DE/HK)
