In collaboration with the Upper Austria University of Applied Sciences’ Hagenberg Campus, the 6th 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 as 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 is an inquiry into future interfaces in animation. Interfaces in Motion will focus on animation technology at the manifold interface where humans, computers and interaction meet.
