Line Scanner Animation Storyboards (Operator 2016)

“The emergence of computer graphics could lead into other, quite different directions, for instance to unconventional, nondeterministic forms of theater.”

-Herbert W. Franke (Computer Graphics — Computer Art, 1971)

Artwork description

Line Scanner (Herbert W. Franke Tribute Edition) is an excerpt from Line Scanner (2016), the first artwork by Ania Catherine and Dejha Ti, known as Operator. Line Scanner merges computer graphics and performance; it was created through Dejha Ti live triggering animations, video mapped onto Ania Catherine’s improvised movement from a projector suspended 11 meters above. The full length version of Line Scanner has been exhibited at CICA Museum in Korea, CADAF NYC, and film festivals internationally. 

This edition is released on the occasion of the Tribute to Herbert W. Franke, as it realizes Franke's observation made decades earlier that "...the emergence of computer graphics could lead into other, quite different directions, for instance to unconventional, nondeterministic forms of theater" (Computer Graphics — Computer Art, 1971).

25% of primary sales will be donated to the Foundation Herbert W. Franke.
