- Summary:
- How the transition from analogue to digital and the rise of animation and simulation transform our concepts of "life" in contemporary culture. Unprecedented kinds of experience - and new modes of life - are now produced by simulations, from the CGI of Hollywood blockbusters to animal cloning to increasingly sophisticated military training softwares, while animation has become an increasingly powerful pop-cultural form. Today, the extraordinary new practices and radical objects of simulation and animation are transforming our neoliberal-biopolitical "culture of life." The Animatic Apparatus offers a genealogy for the animatic regime and imagines its alternative futures, countering the conservative-neoliberal notion of life's sacred inviolability with a new concept and ethics of animatic life.
