Cardboard Dopplegange (Animated Graffiti)

If the line is a dot that went for a walk then this is the still figure that became animated in Stanley town. 2d animation in a 3d world, and getting the people into the animation. This is not quite an animation, as Magritte might have put it; it is precariously balanced on a liminal line between being active and dormant, alive and inanimate. The treachery of images, the duplicity of movement, it hopes to conjure a sense of the uncanny.
It is a work of affordance. Making an artwork in a public space that is supported by and part of that space. This work was partly made by myself, and Christopher Folwell @dabbledabble1 and @thom_n_stuff and @jasonberge
the people of Stanely, with ‘No More Nowt’.
