Abstract

Cartoons and consequently animation are an effective way of visualizing futuristic scenarios. Here we look at how animation is becoming ubiquitous and an integral part of this future today: the cybernetic and mediated society that we are being transformed into. Animation therefore becomes a form of speech between humans and this networked reality, either as an interface or as representation that gives temporal form to objects. Animation or specifically animated films usually are associated with character based short and feature films, fiction or nonfiction. However animation is not constricted to traditional cinematic formats and language, the same way that design and communication have become treated as separate fields, however according to $Vil{\acute{e}}m$ Flusser they aren't. The same premise can be applied to animation in a networked culture: Animation has become an intrinsic to design processes and products - as in motion graphics, interface design and three-dimensional visualization. Video-games, virtual reality, map based apps and social networks constitute layers of an expanded universe that embodies our network based culture. They are products of design and media disciplines that are increasingly relying on animation as a universal language suited to multi-cultural interactions carried in digital ambients. In this sense animation becomes a discourse, the same way as Roland Barthes describes myth as a type of speech. With the objective of exploring the role of animation as a design tool, the proposed research intends to develop transmedia creative visual strategies using animation both as narrative and as an user interface.

만화와 종국적으로 애니메이션은 환상적 시나리오 시각화의 효과적인 방법이다. 본고 에서는 어떻게 애니메이션이 미래 현재(변모되어가고 있는 인공두뇌, 매개 사회) 아주 흔한, 그리고 필수불가결한 부분을 차지하게 되었는지 알아볼 것이다. 따라서 애니메이션은 인터페이스이거나 혹은 대변자로서 일시적 형태의 대상인 인간과 현실의 담화형태가 된다. 애니메이션 혹은 특히 애니메이트된 필름은 보통 단편, 실사영화, 픽션이나 논픽션의 캐릭터와 연결되어있다. 하지만 애니메이션은 전통적 영화 형식과 언어와는 거리가 있고 같은 이유로 디자인과 커뮤니케이션 역시 다른 영역으로 구분된다. 하지만 $Vil{\acute{e}}m$ Flusser에 따르면 그렇지 않다. 같은 전제가 네트워크 문화 속 애니메이션에 적용된다. 애니메이션은 디자인 과정과 제작에 본질(모션 그래픽이나 인터페이스 디자인 그리고 3D 영상작업 등)로 자리한다. 비디오 게임, VR, map 기반 app과 소셜 네트워크 등은 확장된 우주인 우리의 네트워크 기반 문화에 자리하는 것으로 여겨진다. 이러한 것들은 애니메이션과 연결성이 증대된(세계공통어가 디지털 환경 속 멀티-컬처 상호작용에 적용된 것처럼) 디자인 제품과 미디어 훈련이다. 이러한 감각에서 애니메이션은 담론화 되었으며 같은 방법으로 Roland Barthes는 담화 형식의 신화를 묘사한다. 디자인 도구로서의 애니메이션 역할을 탐구하는 목적으로, 제안된 연구는 애니메이션을 사용하여 트렌스 미디어 창작의 이미지 전략을 네러티브와 유저 인터페이스 측면에서 발전시키고자 하는 것이다.
