Artist Andy Holden introduces the influence of cartoon landscapes, characters and scripts on the world of contemporary art and his practice in particular. Participants will have the chance to delve into his research for Laws of Motion in a Cartoon Landscape, work on cartoon scripts, make cartoon objects as props and then literally enter into the animated world via simple green-screen technology.
In this special live performance, Holden is transported into the cartoon-world via green-screen technology.
