Details

Animation Generation presents film and videos from the NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale Collection that use elements of animation and illustration. The selection ranges from cels for Walt Disney’s second animated feature film Pinocchio (1940) to the pioneering 3-D digital animations of Jennifer Steinkamp. The technology has rapidly developed since the early 20th century, when animations required teams of artists and animators to undertake the laborious task of hand-painting each scene. Although the advent of computer-generated imagery in the 1960s allowed artists to achieve life-like effects, artists such as Raymond Pettibon and William Kentridge (whose two-channel film Ursonate is on view in the adjoining gallery) chose to produce animations that appear decidedly hand-made. With the recent launch of Meta AI’s Animated Drawings software, even children can watch their own drawn figures dance, skip and jump in seconds.
