ANIMATED WONDERWORLDS
4 September 2015 - 10 January 2016
Mythical creatures built of pixels inhabit fantastic worlds, flight simulators let us soar like birds and media facades transform entire buildings. Animated images like this are pervasive in our visual culture and define everyday life to such a degree that we hardly are aware of them. Hyperrealist feature films blur the boundaries between reality and fiction. Interactive applications like games or motion comics offer amazing bodily and spatial experiences. Animation also is used to give abstract data and information visual form and to make events at nanometer scale visible. The exhibition presents definitive works and the creative processes behind them, providing insights into the diverse worlds of animation in the digital era.
