The Electronic Theatre section has compiled a large number of animation creators from all over the world, providing an up-to-date survey of animation art in the context of technology and society. It impressively illustrates the dynamic development of artistic computer animation as well as the expansive growth of various fringe areas. A glance at the works selected in 2020 shows a broad range, from animation in the context of performance and installations to real-time animation and multifaceted, subject-based discussions.
