Procedural Electrifying Projections aka PEP Residency call!

Quickdraw is partnering with DS4Y - Digital Skills 4 Youth Scholarship funded by the Government of Canada, to present PEP - Procedural Electrifying Projections Residency at Quickdraw Animation Society!

Animation and technology have always had a relationship, and currently animators are exploring and experimenting with the different ways Machine learning parameters, video mapping, and animation intersect. We're excited to see in what ways ONE resident artist could explore these intersections, depending on their interests and abilities.
