PICTOPLASMA CONFERENCE 2016

Pictoplasma 2016

PICTOPLASMA CONFERENCE 2016
4 – 8 Mai

Spring 2016 Pictoplasma transforms Berlin into the world’s epicentre for a diverse scene of international artists and creatives, trailblazing the face of tomorrow’s visual culture.

The festival showcases latest trends in figurative character design, from fine to urban arts, illustration, animation and graphic design. Creators, producers and fans meet for an unconventional conference with cutting-edge artist presentations, curated screening programmes bring the latest animation eye-candy to the big screen, and a series of exhibitions and group-shows invite visitors to experience original works and outstanding character craftsmanship.

As an underlaying theme for its 12th edition in 2016, Pictoplasma puts a strong focus on the posture of Characters. In previous years, the empathic quality of making eye-contact has been in the centre of attention, with projects ranging from a classical portrait gallery of characters to their counterparts in the age of the selfie. Turning away from facial expression and recognition value, Pictoplasma now takes a wider perspective and investigates how figurative design can communicate and convey more complex emotions and identities through movement, appearance, attitude and posture.
