The Education Science Museum, starting on July 20th (Saturday), will hold a special exhibition titled "Itabashi Anime Expo Special Research Project" under the lab "Image Effect." This year's research project focuses on animation.
Animation has fascinated everyone since childhood. Why do people get captivated by moving images? "Itabashi Anime Expo Special Research Project" will spotlight scientific exploration into "motion" from the perspectives of an exhibition of actual materials and hands-on activities, exploring the technologies that underpin the principles of animation.
The exhibition will feature early optical toys popular before the invention of film, as well as some of the earliest projectors where films ran horizontally, and animations synchronized with phonograph records for both viewing and listening pleasure. These peculiar and ancient visual devices will uniquely animate.
The expo will host live explanatory events to re-experience the audiovisual environments from a century ago, exploring what kind of images (image × art × science) people experienced from then until now.
