About
Experimental and Expanded Animation discusses developments and continuities in experimental animation that have proliferated in the context of expanded cinema, performance and live ‘making’ and are today exhibited in galleries, public sites and online. With reference to historical, critical, phenomenological and inter-disciplinary approaches, international researchers offer new and diverse methodologies for thinking through these myriad animation practices. This volume addresses fundamental questions of form, such as drawing and the line, but also broadens out to encompass topics such as the inter-medial, post-humanism, the real, fakeness and fabrication, causation, new forms of synthetic space, ecology, critical re-workings of cartoons, and process as narrative.
Contributors include: Simon Payne, Dirk de Bruyn, Barnaby Dicker, Sean Cubitt, Alex Jukes, Paul Wells, Johana Gosse, Suzanne Buchan, Sarah Pucill, Birgitta Hosea, Vicky Smith & Nicky Hamlyn.
