Geometry Runners: animation and interaction as the work

Geometry Runners

Rich Lord

Introduction

The series stages geometric racers in team colours. The platform identifies animation and interaction, and viewers can drag the scene to inspect it from another angle; previews show only a moment.

Viewing the work and its documentation

Geometry Runners should be watched in motion. Follow how a geometric body moves, meets the ground and establishes a rhythm, then compare that experience with its preview. Pose, repetition and duration work together.

Art-historical significance and comparison

Editorial interpretation: Movement, character and humour belong in generative-art history. Attending to animation prevents the timeline from privileging static abstraction.
