The Ars Electronica Animation Festival showcases 140 works submitted for prize consideration to 2014 Prix Ars Electronica. They’re divided into 10 programs that offer a cross-section of the outstanding creative work animated filmmakers are currently doing in very diverse areas in this field—applications in art, science, R&D and industry.

New Standards

For years, it seemed impossible to keep pace with the impressive new developments coming out of VFX studios serving the movie business giants. In competition with them, films produced by artists and indie filmmakers usually didn’t stand a chance. But the rapid development of hardware and the price reductions that went along with it as well as the growing professionalism of the training that was available brought about a decisive change. Now, VFX has become an essential element of computer animation, a standard of everyday life in this field.

Increasingly Permeable Borders

Generative and interactive works, projections in an exhibition context or open-air setting, innovative hybrids of analog and digital animation that deliver totally new visual experiences, and found footage—all these developments attest to how this genre’s boundaries have steadily shifted outward and dissolved altogether.

Added Attractions …

The Animation Festival’s themed programs are supplemented by Young Animations, a selection of prizewinning films from last year’s Japan Media Arts Festival and a Campus Genius Awards-program also from Japan.
