Expanded Animation Mapping an Unlimited Landscape

Expanded Animation: Mapping an Unlimited Landscape, edited by Juergen Hagler and Michael Lankes, is a scholarly and richly illustrated survey of animation beyond the screen — the expanding field where animation techniques and aesthetics are applied to installation, performance, gaming, digital art, and the full range of contemporary creative practice. The book brings together artists, researchers, and practitioners from around the world to map the current state of an art form that has moved far beyond its origins in cinema and television, examining both the technical innovations and the aesthetic questions that define animation’s expanded practice. Published by Hatje Cantz, this is essential for animation professionals, digital artists, and anyone interested in the convergence of moving image, interactive art, and the new possibilities of digital creativity.
