Oxberry Pegs presents - Animators Are God?
Animators are god? Meet them in person and decide for yourself when Oxberry Pegs Presents the “Animators are God?” Series at Observatory, co-hosted by GF Newland and Trilby Schreiber
From time immemorial, some mere mortals have sought to play God! They have “pursued nature to her hiding-places” like a bunch of Dr. Frankenstein’s, driven by a bold desire to create life. They are the Animators, and somehow, they have done it, but how? How do they do it? How will they do it in the future, if any, and for God sake’s why??? For answers to these and other questions, don’t miss a night of this scintillating series of lectures, screenings, and presentations by the gods themselves! From Winsor McKay to Ren and Stimpy, the Golem to video games, automata to Avator, phantasmagoria to animatronics, Pygmalian to puppet theatre, this series will examine the ways in which animators play god, (with a little g)
