ARS ELECTRONICA
animation festival 2016
expanded animation symposium
CENTRAL Linz
The Ars Electronica Animation Festival is one of the mainstays of the Ars Electronica
Festival. The accent is on diversity with respect to both content and style here. The
programming delivers impressive testimony to how quickly (computer) animation is growing
and how strongly it influences our everyday life. The lineup is a double-feature. CENTRAL,
a former first-run cinema on Landstraße in downtown Linz, will be screening works of
animation submitted for prize consideration to the 2016 Prix Ars Electronica, the prize for
creativity and pioneering spirit in digital media arts, as well as several guest programs. And
Expanded Animation, a series of workshops, seminars and speeches, will once again offer
plenty of possibilities to go deeper into the art of animation.
Screening Programs:
This year’s Screening programs are: Deconstructed Realities, Visuals & Sound, Statement,
Abstract, Expanded & Experimental, Narration, Comedy & Black Humor, Late Nite, Young
Animations, In Persona: Mihai Grecu, Anniversary Screening Filmakademie BadenWürttemberg, Student Animation Showcase: Digital Media, Hagenberg Campus, Tsinghua
University, Japan Media Arts Festival, Campus Genius Award and The International Students
Creative Award (ISCA).
Expanded Animation:
The fourth annual Expanded Animation symposium is entitled The Alchemy of Animation
in keeping with the 2016 Festival theme, RADICAL ATOMS and the alchemists of our time.
The focus is once again on the fringes of the computer animation field as well as on the
reciprocal interaction of animation and technology. This year’s three featured topics are
science, society and industry, which will be discussed from a variety of perspectives by three
panels made up of animation filmmakers, curators, scientists, VFX artists and prizewinners
in the Prix Ars Electronica’s Computer Animation/Film/VFX category.

Speakers
Abigail Addison (UK)
Abigail Addison co-directs Animate
Projects, a UK-based arts agency
that champions creative animation
practice, and produces ambitious
interdisciplinary projects, such
as Silent Signal, with a range of partners. As
a freelance producer she works with cultural
organizations and individual artists on developing,

Presentation
Silent Signal: Exploring Visionary Science
through Experimental Animation
Producer Abigail Addison will present on Silent
Signal, a project that connects six artists working
with animation and six biomedical scientists.
Together the collaborators have created experimental
animated artworks that elicit new ways of thinking
about the human body. These works explore the
signals that enable our bodies to operate and to
adapt to fight disease, and raise questions around
how our immune system functions, the use of
our genetic code, and how disease is spread. The
presentation will explore how each project provides a
creative response to cutting-edge research in order to
bring to life the science. It will examine the different
ways the artists and scientists have worked together
to find a common language, and how each artist has
engaged with their collaborating scientists’ data,
tools and processes. www.silentsignal.org
Diana Arellano (ES/DE)
Diana Arellano is a researcher and
software developer at the Research
and Development department
at the Institute of Animation,
Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg.
Her research topics are mainly focused on affective
facial animation and its creative use in fields
other than entertainment. In addition to this,
she supports the Technical Director students on
their research projects. Diana Arellano has also
collaborated in the organization and as scientific
committee member of international conferences
(e.g. FMX, AMDO, ICAART, Interacción, SIGGRAPH
as a student volunteer). She is currently Co-Chair
of the ACM SIGGRAPH International Resources
Committee (IRC).
Presentation
The Other Face of Character Animation
Animated or virtual characters have belonged for a
long time to the film or games industry. But what
happens when one wants to use animated characters
in a different field than entertainment? Specifically,
where and how can we use facial animation in a
way that produces a bigger impact and supports
other disciplines? These questions will be answered
by presenting a number of interdisciplinary projects
realized at the Institute of Animation, Filmakademie
Baden-Württemberg like The Muses of Poetry and
SARA—Stylized Animation for Research in Autism,
which have been mostly focused on real time facial
animation.
Reinhold Bidner (AT)
Reinhold studied Animation and
Electronic Media in Salzburg (AT),
Dundee (Scotland/UK) and in Berlin
(DE). In 2001 he joined the Ars
Electronica Futurelab in Linz (Timebased Media, 2001-2006) and since 2006 he has
been experimenting in the fields of Animation and
Media Art, either as an individual or as a member of
two collectives: goldextra and 1n0ut. Since 1999 he
has received various awards and residencies for his
artistic work. Reinhold lives and works in Vienna and
Salzburg, and teaches at University of Art & Design
Linz in the fields of Motion Graphics, Interactive
Video and Animation. In 2012, he also became a
member of Salzburg’s provincial advisory board of
fine arts.
Presentation
Animation and Artistic Diversity
Reinhold´s artistic work is always at least crosslinked to animation in diverse fields, settled
somewhere between Media Art, (robotic)
performances, games, and Augmented Reality. These
projects aim to combine technology with social or
political topics. Animation, in all its variety, offers
incredible potential for addressing social topics and
visualizing their complex interrelations, particularly
with the new tools and devices now available and
artistic disciplines merging with each other. In
reference to this, Reinhold will talk about some of his
own diverse experiments and also about some other
Austrian animation examples that he would consider
“Expanded” Animation. servus.at/subcute/
Manuel Casasola Merkle (DE) &
Moritz Schwind (DE)
Manuel Casasola Merkle is a Graphic
Designer and Technical Director
with over 15 years of experience.
He likes to dive deep into the ins &
outs of contemporary CG research,
burying his desk under piles of SIGGRAPH papers,
and thus racking up quite diverse software and

Presentation
Planting Seeds of Surreality
Just as the flat bed scanner marked a seismic shift
in graphic design in the early nineties of the last
century, 3D scanning techniques have started to
increasingly influence computer animation. The
broad access to these methods, caused by ever
more powerful computers, the rapid enhancements
to photogrammetry software and thus massively
reduced costs, opens new possibilities to a wide
spectrum of artists. The “Seed” movie is a visual
experiment that makes heavy use of scanned data
to create a surreal experience. Samples from the
ordinary world that surrounds us are put into a new
and artificial context. The contrasting relationship
between formerly unrelated objects encourages the
spectator to create an individual interpretation. In
this talk we’ll shed light on the possibilities these
manipulations of our perceived reality offer.

Erwin Feyersinger (AT/DE)
Dr. Erwin Feyersinger is a research
associate in the Department of
Media Studies at the University of
Tübingen. His research is mainly
concerned with film and animation,
and relies on narratological, semiotic, and cognitive
frameworks. He is member of the editorial board
of Animation: An Interdisciplinary Journal. His
current research project focuses on theories of
visual abstraction and dynamic visualizations.
He is initiator and co-coordinator of the interest
group AG Animation as part of the Gesellschaft für
Medienwissenschaft (GfM). Together with Maike
Sarah Reinerth, he recently guest edited an issue of
Montage AV on animation.
Presentation
Wizards of Data: Embodied Cognition
and Animated Visualizations
Dynamic, i.e. animated, visualizations are a highly
pervasive form of moving images, increasingly
used in various academic disciplines, in journalism,
and in education. While many visualizations foster
meaning making of complex phenomena, others
achieve quite the opposite by being unintentionally
misleading or even intentionally deceptive. I will argue
that embodied image schemata strongly influence
both the understanding and misunderstanding of
visualizations.
Mihai Grecu (RO)
Mihai Grecu was born in 1981. Ever
since studying art and cinema in
France, at the Fresnoy Studio of
Contemporary Arts, he has been
developing a complex personal visual
language. By mixing symbolic images with highly
metaphorical situations and surreal atmospheres, his
works challenge the viewer’s perception as well as
contemporary imagery, with recurring themes such
as environment, war, water and metamorphosis. His
films-poems have been shown in numerous film and
new media festivals worldwide (Rotterdam, Festival
of New Cinema in Montreal, Clermont Ferrand,
Videobrasil) and exhibitions (“Dans la nuit, des
images” at the Grand Palais in Paris, Mois de
la Photographie in Paris, Hengesbach Gallery in
Berlin, etc).
Presentation
Under the Centipede Sun
Mihai Grecu makes what would be defined as nonnarrative short films mixing 3D simulation techniques
with real footage. Yet definitions cannot exist in the
universe created by those films. Grecu blends images
of global challenges with images of existential
uncertainties into space where time passes as for a fly
paralyzed in a spider’s web. This view is trying to hold
on to reality slipping away differently in every facet.
What it catches is hyper real, up to every scale of a
fish swimming in the air (Glucose), or every drop of
a rain fallen upside down (Coagulate). The hyper real
breaks the rational observation delicately enough not
to proclaim what is seen a fantasy, but to promote it
to a parallel present, an unknown twin of the reality
we used to believe was the only one. With just one
slight difference, such as North Korea possible to be
flooded like Atlantis (The Reflection of Power), or
raspberry jam possible to pollute a big river (Exland).
Absurdity makes these landscapes even more
believable – because lies are logical, while the nature
takes chances. The excessive images of liquids (oil,
water, syrup), fire and smoke in the films play with the
anxious feeling that somehow nature’s sublime forces
were distorted and hacked into an unknown reality.
Those matters also represent the infinite number of
nature’s varieties, as they are always similar and never
the same. People say they can look at water or fire
forever, which, after all, corresponds with the pace of
time in Grecu’s films. www.mihaigrecu.org/
Jonas Hansen (DE)
Jonas Hansen is a designer and
media artist who works at the
Academy of Media Arts Cologne
(KHM) at the Laboratory for
Dimensional Research (Lab.D)
in the area of experimental 3D and games. He is
co founder of the Cologne based Paidia Institute
and the Dutch media art collective z25.org. In his
artistic work Jonas Hansen develops interactive
systems and experimental games that often explore
the boundaries between the real and the virtual
world. He has taken part in numerous international
exhibitions and festivals, including Museum of
Modern Art (Rovereto), ComeOutAndPlay festival
(Amsterdam), Artefact festival (Leeuven), V2_
Institute for the Unstable Media (Rotterdam),
Ars Electronica (Linz), Transmediale (Berlin),
Translife International Triennial of New Media
Art China (Beijing) and Zentrum für Kunst und
Medientechnologie, ZKM (Karlsruhe).
Presentation
No Frame
In this talk I will focus on strategies that expand
and question the traditional use of the screen and
actively incorporate the human body and the physical
space. Not only since the renaissance of virtual reality
has the rigid format of the screen as a frame been
challenged, but also through a long history of artistic
inquiries that explored the boundaries between the
real and the mediated space. The question we have
to ask ourselves is to what extent these expanded
spaces create a deeper understanding of reality or
completely cut us off via immersive simulations
of existence. Examples of my own work and also
the work of the students of the newly formed
department exMedia at the Academy of Media Arts
Cologne will be shown to open discussions about
the hybrid forms in art, animation and games.

Markos R. Kay (UK)
Markos R. Kay (MRK) is a digital
artist, director and lecturer based
in London. He is best known for his
artificial life video art experiment
“aDiatomea”, exhibited at Haeckel’s
Phyletic Museum. His work can be described as
an ongoing abstraction and digitisation of the
microscopic world through computer simulations
and generative techniques. These experiments
explore the scientific methods and processes
that reveal information about the complexity and
emergence of the invisible.
Presentation
Visualisation and Simulation in Art & Science
In the works presented, computer simulations
are used as an artistic tool to visualise scientific
observations. Observation can be defined as the
abstraction of information from a source. In visual
perception, light information is transformed and
processed through the brain to create a representation
of phenomena. In scientific observation, instruments
intervene to translate information from aspects
of reality that cannot be directly observed into
perceptible forms. Thus, the scientific narrative
mediates information, transforming it into emergent
orders of complexity to produce scientific knowledge.
This knowledge is further abstracted when it is
represented in visual form. Scientific visualisations
communicate these observations, guiding and
forming the way this knowledge is perceived and
understood. This work takes the form of virtual
experiments consisting of parametric systems that
are set into motion to generate emergent structures
and interactions. As visualised digital recordings,
they illustrate the informational paradigm of science
as expressed through the tools and iconography of
scientific observation. www.mrkism.com/

Presentation
Animals vs Machines – When Creativity
Goes Uncontrollable
Contemporary design studios work predominantly
within their conceptual thinking. The project brief
guides designers through the process of research
and development. “VERSUS” is a project without
a brief, an opportunity for an unpredictable result.
Sometimes creativity is uncontrollable and a hint
to our ever present primeval nature. Matthias
Winckelmann, Head of 3D at London-based studio
ManvsMachine, will be talking about the short
animation “VERSUS”, how it came to existence with
the help of MAXON and how it developed into a viral
campaign that keeps on recreating itself.

Deconstructed
Realities
Deconstruction in a philosophical sense means
breaking down literary or philosophical texts into
their component parts and then assembling them
anew. And that’s exactly what the filmmakers on
this lineup do with architecture, everyday events
or urban life: a Los Angeles studded with colorful
neon signs in Arabic; a stereoscopic leap into the
entrails of Paris; the surrealistic reversal of everyday acts; and microscopic investigations leading
into the inner domains of the outer world.

Statement
Abstract
The filmmakers on this lineup take a stance on
the big issues of our times—for instance, the
current sociopolitical situation in Europe and
the refugee problem, global warming, and using
resources sustainably. Some of these takes might
come across as comical at first, but they’ll soon
wipe that smirk off your face and replace it with a
pensive look.
Abstraction—that is, the reduction of what’s
cinematically depicted to its essence or to certain
aspects of it—can make use of a wide array of
techniques. They range from abstract sculpture
and painting onto film with a laser to mapping
and generative art. The result is impressive visual
complexity.

seamlessly combined with quadcopter-mounted
cameras that expand the space; macro shots shift
the point of view inwards; light painting is technologically expanded; fluid bodies are animated
via motion capture; and hybrids of game and
reality trigger an impressive shift of perspective.

saga of two mountain climbers in the Alps is a
stone-cold stunner.

Late Nite
When darkness falls, it’s time for tales of monsters, zombies, cat-eating wolves, trash as 1980s
reminiscence, and sex. This might not be right for
our underage friends, but grown-ups are sure to
get a kick out of it!

In Persona:
Mihai Grecu
Mihai Grecu’s visual and poetic trips mix several
techniques and styles and may be seen as propositions for a new, dream-oriented technology. After
studying art and design in Romania and France,
he has been pursuing his artistic research at the
Fresnoy Studio of Contemporary Arts. Recurring
topics such as distress, cloning, hallucination, city
life and war articulate the whole of his exploration
of mysterious and subconscious beginnings. His
work has been shown at numerous film festivals
(Locarno, Rotterdam, Festival of New Cinema in
Montreal) and exhibitions.

Japan Media Arts
Festival
This program introduces eight video works which
reflect everyday life in contemporary Japan
through very Japanese depictions of the human
emotions. The House of Small Cubes, the first
Japanese film to win the Academy Award for Best
Animated Short Film, conveys an important,
moving awareness through its precise, nostalgic
world view. Other works in this program use minimalist techniques to excite the viewer’s imagination. Issey Miyake A-Poc Inside, for example, begins
with simple graphics made from white dots, which
fuse with music and rhythm to generate the movement of fashion models in a fashion show.

Award
The Campus Genius Award (Gakusei CG Contest)
honors digital artworks created by students.
The continuity of this contest, which has been
held for 21 years, underpins its important role in
Japanese media arts. Incorporating new media
and technology forms of expression that change
with the times, the contest forms a gateway not
only for computer graphic artworks, but for a wide
range of diverse genres. Many past award-winners
have also won high acclaim in the Ars Electronica,
the Berlin International Film Festival Berlinale
and the Japan Media Arts Festival and are working
at the front line of several creative fields, such as
art, design and entertainment.
