Abstract:
In this project we investigated how animation could be fragmented with the aim to provide viewers with the opportunity to experience and reinterpret a storyline while navigating around a space. “The Show”, is a linear animation, depicting 1940’s circus life, characters and performances. It is set in a world that implies the past – something that speaks of nostalgia and charm. The Vroom (Virtual Room) is a cinema that is a series of eight screens positioned in a 360-degree octagon shape. The audience navigates the space created by the screens to view media. The exhibition showcases the animation screened in the Virtual Room.
