Workshop on New Technologies, Forms and Genres of Animation<\/em>
23.\u201325.06.2021 | Ruhr-University Bochum | virtual<\/em><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Virtuality is an ambivalent and difficult to define concept as it points to something that is present and not present at the same time, that enables \u2018real actions\u2019 in an \u2018actually unreal\u2019 environment, and that operates at the threshold of (f)actuality and potentiality, materiality and imagination. Thus, it challenges ideas of documentation, because documenting virtuality would somehow mean to capture its \u2018unreal realness\u2019 (or vice versa) and hence: to produce documents of the un\/real.
But there are, of course, contexts in which virtuality \u2018manifests\u2019 itself and might become accessible for documentary practices \u2013 one of them being: digital animation. Especially contemporary ideas of virtuality are strongly linked to the technologies and aesthetics of computer-generated moving images \u2013 for example, when it comes to augmented reality apps on our mobile phones, game worlds on our computer screens, or virtual 360\u00b0 settings that we explore via head-mounted displays. What virtuality is or might be (an affect, a perceptive mode, a dataset, an instant interplay of computable [inter]activity \u2026?) is therefore mainly debated regarding this \u2018visuality of virtuality\u2019<\/em> associated with moving CGI. But not only is virtuality emerging from animation; likewise, digital animation itself is \u2018a virtual thing\u2019 as it is the result of digital interactive image practices carried out on screens through the use of software, hardware, and interfaces.
The workshop therefore wants to focus on the specific \u2018visuality of virtuality<\/em>\u2019 that is defined by and at the same time defines digital animation. To achieve that, we want to look at \u2018documenting digital animation<\/em>\u2019 in the twofold sense of the phrase, both as a documentary tool of the virtual and as the virtual referent being documented. Focusing on the interrelations between documentation, animation, and virtuality thus might help to challenge and refine all three concepts.

The workshop is a cooperation of the DFG-Research Training Group Das Dokumentarische. Exzess und Entzug<\/em> (Documentary Practices. Excess and Privation<\/em>)<\/strong> (Bochum) with the DFG-Research Network Animation and Contemporary Media Culture. Challenges and Potentials of Animation Studies in the Digital Era<\/a><\/strong><\/em> (Potsdam).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop will take place as a ‘virtual’ event via Zoom. Please register until June 22nd, 2021, if you want to take part, by writing an eMail to julia.eckel@rub.de<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
