The Living is an intriguing piece of animation from 1997 that's quite unique. Created by Debra Solomon, it leans heavily into the digital art realm, using CU-SeeMe to create a sort of live, interactive experience. It plays with the idea of being online continuously, which feels very prescient given today's digital landscape. The animation is simple but effective—there’s a rawness to it that kind of pulls you in. It presents themes of connection and isolation, almost like a digital mirror of society's anxieties at the time. The pacing is unconventional, a bit disjointed perhaps, but that adds to its charm. It's not just a film; it’s a reflection on the future of communication and art, way ahead of its time.
Not widely known, but an interesting study in early digital art. · Complex exploration of themes, especially for its release time. · Could be worth watching for animation enthusiasts or digital media scholars.
