Eyeworks – Festival of Experimental Animation 2010

Eyeworks Festival of Experimental Animation is a Chicago-based event organized by local talents, Lilli Carré and Alexander Stewart, both accomplished animators and artists in their own right. Bridging the gap between character-based narrative to all-out avant garde explorations, Eyeworks marks a distinct jump from the format of more established animation festivals, which tend to lean one way or the other. Alexander and Lilli’s brains are big and their forward thinking tendencies didn’t stop at festival programming. After a massive brainstorming session the four of us came up with a really warped idea, creating an animated poster. The paper isn’t locked in place, allowing elements to be printed in various locations throughout the print run, the ink is regulated by hand, allowing color changes, and the nature of a screen itself, allows for blocking portions of the image easily. Using these techniques we created a run of 200 posters, all with slight variations, culminating in a trailer animation.

Check out the trailer that Lilli and Alexander made of the edition:
