PICTOPLASMA PROJECT
Lars Denicke and Peter Thaler give an introduction to the phenomenon of contemporary character design in its varied manifestations and talk about the cultural implications and links of today’s aesthetics to ancient and folklore archetypes.
From their perspective, characters are not representations of living beings, but have a more animistic quality, of giving objects or mere thoughts the appearance of life.
FONS SCHIEDON
With an illustration background, Fons Schiedon is known for an explosive colorful style in design and animation. Strangely enough, in contrast to their hysterical look, none of his characters and creatures seem entirely happy.
Lately Fons had turned his talent towards more personal work, with a series of highly acclaimed oil paintings and installations. Just recently he returned to animation and just finished a new short.
CHARACTERS IN MOTION
A specially curated animation programme brings freshly hatched characters in motion to the big screen. In an ongoing process, Pictoplasma hunts for the very best contemporary short films, music videos, motion graphics and experimental work.
The program include style defying all-time classics and the fresh and recent work by the world’s most talented studios, animators and designers.
