Computer Animation
HONORARY MENTION
Installation
This project attempts to revive “anima” (“life” or “soul” in Latin) and also animation through primitive methods using sunlight.
For this purpose the artist reached back in time far before the technologies of the 19th century, when cinema was invented, and created animations using stones, tree branches, and hemp in a way that could have been possible in prehistoric times. When Goto manually shifts one of his handmade objects, the sun’s rays directly create the illusion of a moving image.
The aim of the project is to help people rediscover the sheer joy and wonder of the illusion of movement in an age when technological advances have made it possible to consume visual media anytime, anywhere.
