DESCRIPTION:Join cinema studies for “Evolving Animation Through its Long\
 , Lost Past: An Artist Talk with Eric Dyer.”\n\nFree and open to the com
 munity.\n\nAnimation is still a young art form with many underexplored ave
 nues of expression. Although the lay-person’s view of animation is still
  predominantly as entertainment on screens\, it can also exist as particip
 atory sculpture and painting\, immersive kinetic environments\, live perfo
 rmance visuals\, and as experiences of exploration and discovery. Such for
 ms and experiences challenge us to rethink what animation is and how it ca
 n engage people. Artist Eric Dyer draws on all of this and more through wo
 rks based on one of the keystones of animation – the zoetrope\, or the 
 ‘wheel of life’.  \n\nArtist Eric Dyer\, dubbed The Modern Master of t
 he Zoetrope by Creative Capital\, brings animation into the material world
  through his sequential images\, sculptures\, installations\, and performa
 nces. He has been honored as a Fulbright Fellow\, Sundance New Frontier Ar
 tist\, Creative Capital Grantee\, and Guggenheim Fellow. Dyer has been a v
 isiting artist at Carnegie Mellon University (Pittsburgh)\, East China Nor
 mal University (Shanghai\, China)\, California Institute of the Arts (Los 
 Angeles)\, and the Royal College of Art (London\, UK)\, among others. His 
 participatory animated sculptures and award-winning films have been widely
  exhibited at prestigious international events and venues such as the Nati
 onal Gallery of Art (Washington\, DC)\, Ars Electronica (Austria)\, Tabaka
 lera (Spain)\, ARoS Museum of Modern Art (Denmark)\, and at the Cairo and 
 Venice Biennales. His talk on TED.com\, The Forgotten Art of the Zoetrope 
 [go.ted.com/ericdyer]\, has been viewed over 1.1 million times. \n\nCospon
 sored by the UO Minor in Comics and Cartoon Studies\, the Department of Ar
 t\, the Department of the History of Art and Architecture\, the Department
  of History\, and the generous donation from the Kaplan family.
