In the incredibly media saturated world, Motion Blur 2 takes an informed path through the diverse moving image area. investigating some of the mavericks who are pushing the boundaries, it will encourage fresh insights into moving image, and give a glimmer of what the future creators will look like.
The book is not setting out to capture the definitive zeitgeist. It is not about the new or the latest, and it by no means definitive or exhaustive. the nature of book projects means there are also omissions and edits - it is not a plotted history and it does not answer all the questions.
Motion Blur 2 is a dialogue with contemporary creators working in a multitude of motion forms offering a breadth of vision and experiences from a range of differing cultures, approaches and goals. the book explores the artists role in shaping and creating the future of nanotainment.
It is rich in contemporary relevance, a legacy of our audio-visual media culture but also a snapshot of our shifting perceptions, ways of working and a new visual literacy.
For anyone interested in the creative industries, entertainment and digital art, Motion Blur 2 looks at these visual explorations by gathering together a global group of exhilarating talent from around the world who have contributed to this transformation.
