About
Laws of Motion in a Cartoon Landscape is the result of Andy Holden’s research into the laws of physics in cartoons.
Andy describes the installation as ‘a lecture on cartoons, and also a cartoon lecture.’ His avatar acts as our guide through an animated landscape populated by well-known characters including Bugs Bunny and Wile E Coyote.
The golden age of cartoons offered ‘a prophetic glimpse’ into the world in which we live and studying these dated comics can help us better understand the events of our contemporary landscape, not least the 2008 financial crisis and President Donald Trump.
