Flying dogs, sea waves, talking cats and exploding dinosaurs. During the workshop we will create short animations on animation machines or on a lightbox.
With this installation, Ondřej Kábele wanted to draw the viewer into his perspective of perceiving the world while listening to electronic music, where he observes and explores everything around him in greater depth. He created a soundtrack for the installation on a modular synthesizer, which also became the inspiration for the morphing of the whole object. Blocks of glass serve as a gateway to observe the ever-changing space defined by the structure from the 3D print. Neon passes through each block as a source of energy that reveals a reflection of another space, as Ondrej's music reveals another reality
