Book Presentation:
The Animate! Book explores the relationship between art and animation through the animate! project, now in its fifteenth year. Animate! has supported groundbreaking animation, and this volume addresses new technologies and practices and includes interviews with six contemporary animators and a DVD of key works.

animate! is a groundbreaking commissioning project established by Arts Council England and Channel 4 to support risk taking and experimental animation works for television. Exploding the traditional preconceptions of what animation is and could be, animate! exists to break down barriers and challenge expectations. The animate! book explores the vibrant discourses round the project, taking it as a jumping off point for a wide ranging exploration of the relationship between art and animation and the place of animation and its concepts in contemporary art practice.
