劇情、實驗、藝術動畫的交會

  「動畫」是一種最原始的自我敘事手法，也是最容易讓觀者產生共鳴的載體。在不同的學術領域中，皆有創作者運用動畫的手法詮釋自我對於我或他者的感知。動畫地帶邀集了不同學術背景、不同創作媒材、不同創作目地的十五位動畫創作者，用各種不同的觀點述說「親情」與「環境」，並用地帶的方式希望彼此連接與激盪，讓動畫如大爆炸式的引爆與啟動。動畫創作者史明輝、紀柏舟、蔡旭晟、游凱麟、林巧芳、張淑滿、蔡珏伶、林青萱等，皆是用動畫的方式紀錄著自己與家人。動畫創作者張世明、邱立偉、楊雅涵、朱書賢、吳梓寧、陳秋苓、張徐展等，皆是用動畫的方式預言，關注著環境或人類所要面對的議題。動畫創作者觀心自我與環境間的問題，並且運用動畫的方式傳達與連結。

  另一方面，現今許多實驗動畫在表現形式、觀念與主題上已然與當代藝術接軌，除了借用了許多美術使用的媒材，如：黏土、水墨、油彩等，或引入電腦繪圖、互動式多媒體技術來呈現之外，劇情也不再是唯一重點，而有著更多元的意念呈現；而許多當代藝術家也運用了動畫的形式來進行創作與傳達概念，實驗動畫與藝術中的動畫作品，表現手法可說是如出一轍；兩方創作者在創作形式、觀念與主題上有著多重的共通處。（文／羅禾淋、謝慧青）

  Animation is one of the most primordial methods of self-narration, and also one of the mediums the viewers identify with the easiest. In various academic arenas, creators have used animation as a means to interpret their own understanding of the self or the other. With Animation Zone, the curators invited fifteen animation artists from different academic backgrounds, working with different creative materials and propelled by different creative purposes, to expend their varying perspectives upon the common themes of familial love and the environment. The resulting exhibits are then arranged by geographic zones in order to create connections and stimulations between the different works, in the hopes of generating a big bang-style kickoff and explosion. On the other hand, a major faction of experimental animation works has already crossed over into the realms of contemporary art in presentation, conceptualization, and subject matter. Many contemporary artists have also used animation to make their art and relate their ideas. The methods of presentation are practically identical in experimental animation and in contemporary art pieces which employ animation. The two sides have multiple commonalities in creative presentation, concept and subject matter.
