Presentation:
Non-Symbolic Animation
Presentation by Chris McKee
Thursday, March 31, 2005 7-9 pm
$5 donation

Join BMCM+AC and the Media Arts Project for the latest installment in the monthly Off the MAP series. Artist and curator Chris McKee will present at the Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center located at 56 Broadway in downtown Asheville.

Chris Mckee will screen collected animations, followed by a discussion about the works and related topics.  The animations are an exploration into the world of non-symbolic animation. The foundation of the animations are based on basic design concepts and the following question: What will happen when a visual environment is created based on compositional theory that consists of unfamiliar imagery?

The primary objective of the animations was to create a world without symbols that is depicted through shape, color, and form. The concepts involving shape, color, and form are personally constructed and firmly grounded in mathematics and science.

The discussion will cover:
1) shape
2) color in relation to shape
3) sound
4) editing

The event will run from 7-9pm on Thursday, March 31st. Five dollar donations will be accepted at the door. Proceeds will go to the Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center and the Media Arts Project.
