There is a tendency in some niche media to lose perspective of the bigger picture. But in a medium as flexible and inviting to experimentation as is animation, it’s difficult to deny the obscure and often absurd influences that can weave in and out of ones work. In this session, we open the doors to some of the ideas and concepts that may not fall directly within the conventional boundaries of “animation art”, but which may raise some surprising connections and inspirations. This session is about ideas. Bring yours and dive in.
