Animation is a visual technique that creates the illusion of motion, and abstract animation is the conceptualisation of pulling the inner meaning out. It is often referred to as “moving art” and has a long history alongside the abstract visual art movement with painters like Wassily Kandinsky, as noted by Pamela Taylor-Turner, a Professor of Kinetic Imaging at Virginia Commonwealth University, in her paper on abstract animation. Kandinsky was an extremely influential artist and writer, who wrote in his autobiography ‘Reminiscences’ (1911) about a turning point in his art where he recognised art as an entity that does not have to represent nature. His solution was in the realisation that nature and art were two separate but equally powerful entities. This insight freed him to greater appreciation and experience of both, as he describes, “… everything shows me its face, its innermost being, its secret soul, which is more often silent than heard. Thus every still and moving point (=line) became equally alive and revealed its soul to me”
