This stop-motion animation was created by printing digitally produced graphics and filming them one frame at a time.
It uses a risograph, a type of silkscreen printing machine, and six kinds of paper with distinctive textures.
When printed with a risograph, irregularities and misalignments occur in the prints. In the film, these factors created a unique feel and texture.
As a result, the visuals of the data created digitally and the printed data changed significantly.
This phenomenon can be applied to “information.”
For a single fact, different outputs—such as the angle from which it is framed or the way it is communicated—can create inconsistencies and shifts in impression even when the content is the same. In addition, when information passes through the filters of the receiver’s emotions, culture, and stance, an entirely different interpretation is ultimately produced.
These are not negative things, but positive elements that generate new visual forms and interpretations.
Isn’t ambiguity, rather than black or white, the diversity required in the coming era?
This film translates such ideas into visual expression and has been completed as a work that suits the new post-COVID era.
