Anna Vasof: Non-Stop Stop-Motion Machines

Opening: Wed, Feb 17, 18:30, Raum D / Q21
Exhibition: ASIFAKEIL
Admission free

A video installation showing mechanisms that produce Non Stop Stop Motion films. Non-Stop Stop-Motion is a new animation technique in which a video camera continuously films a motion change illusion caused by the “stop-motion” properties of the space where the camera is placed.
The final movie has similar intermittent movements as in Stop-Motion animation technique, however its media reflective nature has a stronger influence on its content and form.
In order to create a Non-Stop Stop-Motion movie it is usually required to set up a sequence of incremented objects or images which are named hyperframes. In each movie those hyperframes are placed in a specific way in certain places. A fixed camera on a tripod is not always enough to ensure the filming of the sequence. That’s why the camera is often mounted on mechanisms or machines which enable it to move.
