Guido Devadder is an experimental animator from Belgium. He holds a MA in Literature (KU Leuven) and Visual Arts – Graphic Storytelling (LUCA School of Arts). He co-founded graphic narrative anthology Ink (Oogachtend Publishing) and published in numerous other magazines and comics anthologies in Belgium and the Netherlands. Gradually, his focus shifted to experimental animation, where he investigates hybrids of old and new media. Besides working with analog film, his practice concentrates mostly on combinations between pre-cinema and digital animation. His short film Status Quontinuum won the Audience Favorite Award at the ESMoA Video Art + Film Festival in 2021.
Devadder is affiliated with the Animation department at LUCA School of Arts (Campus Sint-Lukas Brussels) since 2001. He currently teaches Image Research and Drawing and is working on a practice-based Ph.D. entitled From Post-cinema to Pre-cinema and Back: Media Archaeology of Loop Animation.
In this talk, Devadder will introduce two complementary perspectives: the evolution of the shutter in the 19th and early 20th century (framing time) and on the other hand the contemporary approaches, which make it possible to transgress the limitations of the frame in prototypical film (unframing time). He will address the animated machines and also talk about direct/drawn-on-film animation.
