Aneurysm: Projeto de instalação artística

Abstract

This project report presents the various stages of creation, production and reception of the Aneurysm art installation, in an exercise in expanded animation. It starts with the following research questions: How to develop an intimate, abstract and metaphorical visual dimension of the theme, using expanded animation? What expanded animation strategies can be implemented to deepen artistic communication and, at the same time, health literacy? how to organize an art installation that sensitizes and captivates the audience for this theme? What should be the focus to promote their involvement: statistical data and information, thoughts and personal stories, sensations, feelings, affections, real scenes, suffering, reflection, presence? The project's objectives were: i) Creatively explore means of animation, ii) Carry out an intimate and minimalist project, iii) Develop an animation project that raises awareness about the aneurysm theme, iv) Investigate approaches and practices of artistic evaluation already tried in other contexts, developing a project of reflection and practice of artistic installation for the Masters in Animation Arts. The relevance of the theme fits into the open nature of animation to innovation and to new, alternative and future themes, in the current turning point of visual culture, with emphasis on attention to affections, loneliness and health problems. Using a practice research based methodology, the installations and the results of interactions with audiences, carried out between June and September 2022, are described and analyzed, along with the particularities of expanded animation in this context.
