Computer Animation – Radical Atoms https://ars.electronica.art/radicalatoms/en Ars Electronica Festival 2016 Tue, 28 Jun 2022 13:26:43 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.6 Prix Ars Electronica Forums – Art & Science https://ars.electronica.art/radicalatoms/en/prix-ars-electronica-forums/ Wed, 03 Aug 2016 13:39:58 +0000 https://ars.electronica.art/radicalatoms/?p=781

The Prix Forums are produced by the European Digital Art and Science Network.

At the Prix Ars Electronica Forums, the 2016 Prix Ars Electronica prizewinners will personally discuss their works, their motifs and their motivations.

The Prix Forums furnish an extraordinary opportunity to festivalgoers—a chance to meet the human beings behind the works of art. Here, you can enjoy up-close-and-personal encounters with the artists honored by the Prix Ars Electronica and the jurors who made the selections. In formal speeches and casual conversations, you can find out more about the works, the ideas behind them, and the challenges the artists responded to.

The 2016 theme, “Art & Science,” accentuates that this year, more than ever, the focus is on the interplay and reciprocal impact of science and art. The gathering place of the participating artists and scientists is, once again, the Ursulinensaal at OÖ Kulturquartier—with one exception: The Prix Forum I – Computer Animation / Film / VFX will be staged in CENTRAL.

Prix Forum I – Computer Animation/Film/VFX

The Computer Animation / Film / VFX Prix Forum will deal with developments in the animation field. With Gerfried Stocker (AT), Boris Labbé (FR), Yuya Hanai (JP), Mari-Liis Rebane (EE) and Johannes Schiehsl (AT).

The accent is on diversity with respect to both content and style here. The programming delivers impressive testimony to how quickly (computer) animation is growing and how strongly it influences our everyday life.

This lineup is a double-feature. CENTRAL, a former first-run cinema on Landstraße in downtown Linz, will be screening works of animation submitted for prize consideration to the 2016 Prix Ars Electronica, the prize for creativity and pioneering spirit in digital media arts. Among the jury’s favorites are “Rhizome,” a extraordinarily detailed work by Boris Labbé, the impressive animation by Nosaj Thing accompanying a music video entitled “Cold Stares,” and David Coquard Dassault’s surprising scenery in a deserted high-rise. And Expanded Animation, a series of workshops, seminars and speeches, will once again offer plenty of possibilities to go deeper into the art of animation.

Prix Forum I – Computer Animation/Film/VFX

The Computer Animation / Film / VFX Prix Forum will deal with developments in the animation field. With Gerfried Stocker (AT), Boris Labbé (FR), Yuya Hanai (JP), Mari-Liis Rebane (EE) and Johannes Schiehsl (AT).
