Jubilation. Yes we can!
As a personal interpretation of the positively infectious euphoria triggered off by the election results in the USA, artist group CTRL has come up with a work in the spirit of hope and change - aspirations that an uncertain world hungrily seeks to foster.
„This piece is an homage and celebration to the recent election of Barack Obama for President of the United States. The confetti like animation and large stripes reflect the joy felt on that day, not only in the US but throughout the world. It is the beginning of the end of the age of apathy and embarrassment, we Americans feel toward our country and national identity. It will not happen over night. It will not happen in four years, or eight even. It will take a generation, but we have at least taken the first steps toward unifying the nation in peace instead of war." - Nika Offenbac
Equilibrium is composed of elements generated from standard digital animation techniques as well as generative (programmatically built) animation, using Maya, After Effects and Max/MSP+Jitter.
