A discussion on Virtual Reality and animation, with artists Katerina Athanasopoulou, Edwina Ashton and David Jacobs. Hosted by Dr Lilly Husbands.
Artists Katerina Athanasopoulou, Edwina Ashton and her animator collaborator David Jacobs present their work and discuss their current ventures into Virtual Reality. Each artist has a distinctive voice and comes to VR from an artistic practice that includes animated short films. The session will explore the challenges and opportunities presented by VR for artists working with animation.
Curated by Edwin Rostron who runs Edge of Frame, a blog and ongoing programme of screening events focusing on experimental animation, including two Edge of Frame Weekends, each featuring over 50 international animation artists at BFI Southbank, Whitechapel Gallery, Close Up and Barbican. Edwin’s own films have been shown extensively at festivals internationally, including Ann Arbor Film Festival, GLAS, Pictoplasma and Eyeworks Festival of Experimental Animation. He has been a visiting artist at CalArts and at Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design, Budapest and is a tutor on the Animation Programme at the Royal College of Art.
