The Animation 2-Day Workshop is part of the Timeless Motion exhibition at SOMArts (934 Brannan St., between 8th & 9th) on view from February 18 March 23, 2016.
Timeless Motion reveals the science and magic behind cinema through photography, collage, drawing, celluloid, sculptural installation and projected light. This exhibition features new artwork from seven moving image artists (Paul Clipson, Keith Evans, Kerry Laitala, Jeanne Liotta, Kathleen Quillian, Scott Stark, Mark Wilson) exposing the ways in which moving image art is created and perceived. Activated by a series of live cinema performances and a panel discussion with Bay Area underground cinema experts, Timeless Motion shows how the human response to visual phenomena drives the entrancing illusion of movement.
