posted on 2022-07-28, 01:18 authored by Loh, Ian Jun Yeen

The aesthetics of computer animation inherently draw from old modes of traditional animation production. AniSketch is an animation system that uses visual composition and sketching to produce animations, built in reaction to these established aesthetics of computer animation. Provocation through alternative tools is needed in order to incite the creation new aesthetics, tools and processes. The relationship between animation and technology is often marked by conflict that ultimately leads to the catalyst creative change. As digital media and digital tools become increasingly part of the lingua franca of the animation process, it is our empathetic understanding for the computer, its affordances and its relationship to the artist that will allow us to not only fully utilise, but also help us to continually provoke the status quo of the medium.
