Kamaryn Schneider BFA Animated Arts Thesis Spring 2021
remnants
“remnants,” is an expanded animated examination of the perceived temporal experience. It is an experimental animated installation with a focus on audience interaction. It utilizes hand-drawn charcoal animation, shuffled into a nonlinear sequence, and when installed is looped endlessly with an accompanying soundtrack. It is a new way to think about time and it’s presentation in time-based media. Three rear-projected video channels wrapped around a single audience member simulate the differing structures of time and provide the audience member an opportunity to think introspectively about their own understanding of time. With this piece I am challenging my audience’s preconceptions of time, and am asking them to question how they interact with time as a construct.
