*/ANIMATED SPACE
Engaged animation for the space(s) we live in/*


The International Journal of Film and Media Arts is an open access, 
subsidized by the Film and Media Arts Department of Lusófona University, 
Lisboa, Portugal. In June 2020, IJFMA was accepted for indexation in 
Scopus from Elsevier.


This special issue invites filmmakers, artists and researchers to submit 
papers that deal with but are not limited to the topics of:

- Animation and public space
- Animation and architecture
- Site-specific installations that use animated image
- Animated video-mapping projects
- Animated VR experiences
- Expanded animation environments
- Spatially engaged animation practice

Since its early days, the animated image has suggested a spatial freedom 
that challenges the limits of the photographic and traditional filmic space.

When, in 1914, Winsor McCay drew himself onto the landscape to interact 
with Gertie, he was initiating a practice of expanding the space(s) we 
live in through the use of animated image that lasts until today. And, 
while early rubber hose animation projected the uncertainty of the 
accelerating modern life onto the screen, contemporary animation is now 
seamlessly embedded in our lives, redesigning the facades of our cities, 
expanding our intimate spaces, bringing to life the digital devices that 
enhance our body interfaces.

Animation’s wide aesthetic and technical range has made its practice a 
perfect vehicle for engaging with our environment: From straightforward 
projections, site-specific installation work, to video-mapping and VR, 
the city landscape has simultaneously become the ultimate animation 
canvas and an animated body in itself; From the purely decorative to 
socially or politically engaged projects that challenge our perception 
of the world, animation has taken over the surfaces that used to limit 
our space, to augment our physical experience.

We are dedicating a special issue of the International Journal for Film 
and Media Studies to expanded animation and the ways it addresses public 
space, interacts with the contemporary city, reflects on landscape 
and/or reshapes personal environment, to challenge our perception of the 
space(s) we inhabit.
