POSTCITY, Art Thinking Stage

In collaboration with the Upper Austria University of Applied Sciences’ Hagenberg Campus, the 7th Expanded Animation symposium carries on a process launched in 2013 — mapping the wide-ranging domain of animated worlds of imagery beyond the well-trodden paths. The symposium stays the course originally set at its inception, and presents theoretical positions and perspectives from the art world, the R&D field and the industrial sector. The mission: To function as a driving force advancing an interdisciplinary discourse. This year’s symposium takes the festival motto Out of the Box – the Midlife Crisis of the Digital Revolution and offers several panel discussions of current trends in the extended field of computer animation. Out of the Box in the sense of “thinking against all conventions” captures the basic essence of the Expanded Cinema movement, widely regarded as a pioneer of media art.
