Almost since the art form began, there's been a split between animation as a studio product and animation as a vehicle for individual expression. The enormous succe features and TV shows has kept the work of the major animation studios uppermost in the minds of American audiences recently. But beginning with the pioneer cartoonist and filmmaker Winsor McCay - - back in the early 1900's -- independent artists have treated animation as an art as personal, flexible and immediate as painting or sculpture. Their work is an entirely different vision of what an animated film can be, as the new DVD box set The Animation Show of Shows richly proves. Volume 3 just came out. The artists who create these films may teach or support themselves with other jobs or work at a government-sponsored body, like the National Film Board of Canada. Some are students, and some are professionals pursuing their visions in their spare time. They're united by a commitment to the art of animation. M any of the films in Show of Shows use techniques that are too impractical or personal for large scale production.

  • Shock the Monkey a Vr Film by Nicolas Blies & Stéphane Hueber-Blies
    SHOCK THE MONKEY A VR FILM BY NICOLAS BLIES & STÉPHANE HUEBER-BLIES An experiment of anticipation in virtual reality on the privatization of our imagination. Will you be able to regain your freedom? A production by “The advertising industry that is used to create consumers is a phenomenon that has developed in the freest countries. 100 years ago, it became clear that it would be more difficult to control the population by force. The freedom gained was far too great. We needed new ways to control people. With this new objective, the advertising industry exploded to make consumers. The idea is to control everyone, to transform society into a perfect system. A system based on a duo. This duo is you and television, or today, you and the Internet, that shows you what an ideal life looks like, what you should have. And you will spend your time and energy to get it. (...) We create desires, we lock the population into the role of consumers. (...) Consumers who must be spectators, not participants in our democracies. Noam Chomsky “ 2 SUMMARY 2046. SOMA is an activist against the dominant system. It is also the code name for the spirit liberation program she and her team have been running for several months. A program that seeks to stem the privatization of our minds by multinationals and consumerist ideology. SOMA kidnaps you and encourages you to free yourself from this conditioning. With your permission, she infiltrates your brain. You then begin a psychedelic journey into the depths of your imagination to allow you to regain your free will.

  • Invisible City: Philadelphia and the Vernacular Avant-Garde NOTES on the UNDERGROUND
    INVISIBLE CITY Philadelphia and the Vernacular Avant-garde Invisible City: Philadelphia and the Vernacular Avant-garde NOTES ON THE UNDERGROUND 252 Sid Sachs 253 Invisible City: Philadelphia and the Vernacular Avant-garde Notes on the Underground Sid Sachs In the mid-twentieth century, Philadelphia was a publishing center, its populism epito- mized by Curtis Publishing Company’s The Saturday Evening Post and Ladies Home Journal and Walter Annenberg’s TV Guide and Seventeen. The everyday American worldview—the Norman Rockwell and N.C. Wyeth versions of America—originated from these publishers. These were not aristocratic visions but, rather, the iconography of popular culture (as defined by sociologist Herbert Gans).1 In addition to Annenberg’s Triangle Publications and Curtis, Philadelphia was home to J.B. Lippincott, smaller specialty publishers such as Chilton and Cypher Press, and many others.2 Over these years, Philadelphia culture produced artifacts variously affiliated with the Beat writers, pulp fiction, experimental poetry, popular music, and a proto-punk ethos. Indeed, Philadelphia encompassed many worlds, from the Ivy League University of Pennsylvania and its elite Quaker satellite schools to Philip Barry’s patrician Tracey Lords; it brooked an even darker proletarian underworld. David Lynch noticed this chthonic condition during his Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) years in the late 1960s and Sun Ra decried the city, saying, “To save the planet, I had to go to the worst spot on Earth, and that was Philadelphia, which is death’s headquarters.”3 That sinister underbelly was best illustrated by David Goodis, an important pulp-fiction writer.
