Summary

How the transition from analogue to digital, and the rise of animation and simulation transform our concepts of life in contemporary culture.

Animatic Apparatus, The Summary

Animatic Apparatus, The: Animation, Vitality, and the Futures of the Image by Deborah Levitt

Unprecedented kinds of experience, and new modes of life, are now produced by simulations, from the CGI of Hollywood blockbusters to animal cloning to increasingly sophisticated military training software, while animation has become an increasingly powerful pop-cultural form. Today, the extraordinary new practices and radical objects of simulation and animation are transforming our neoliberal-biopolitical culture of life. The Animatic Apparatus offers a genealogy for the animatic regime and imagines its alternative futures, countering the conservative-neoliberal notion of life's sacred inviolability with a new concept and ethics of animatic life.
