源於一股脈衝，又或是在諸多提問的裂縫中想去尋蹤覓跡的驅策，《原格破裂 - 動畫的互媒實驗綜覽》的研習以社會文化歷史與技術譜系的宏闊景觀作遠景去研習動畫的端倪。動畫往往被視為單一的媒體，導致我們錯失了很多重要的課題，因為不少動畫精闢之處，正在於動畫的跨媒跨界的支取。一系列的放映與工作坊讓我們研察作品文本、考查背景、脈絡、拆解工序與影像生產的運作。我們也與不同範疇的從業員與持分者作訪談，瞭解技術實踐、美學軌道以及互媒實踐。

橫跨一年的計劃，將先以放映會及各種技術主導的動畫實驗場啟動，邀請本地與國際的創作者、策展人、學者及動畫愛好者等不同持分者和生產知識的建構體系聚合，以錄像放映及專題討論等概覽各種動畫作為「載體」與「媒體」的實驗，再以動畫實驗場把創作經驗打開，剖析箇中的可塑及延伸性。冀望藉以透過種種細察與描述的契機，與一整年間項目研究員的田野工作，明瞭動畫不同系統的原動力。作為擴展原有空間的催化劑，《原格破裂》為香港動畫溯源，重塑軌跡，肯定香港動畫的國際性結連的同時，尋找本地本有的動畫生態，挑戰媒體歷史觀的單一性。

在此感激香港藝術發展局資助我們的研究計劃。

Driven by the impulse to understand animation in the expansive landscape of socio-cultural histories and genealogies of technics, “Elemental Dynamite: Research on the Intermedia Practice in Animated Pictures” was conceived to address the many questions that often fall into the crevices between disciplines because they are surplus to the vision of a singular medium. This research-based screening/workshop series dig into the animated picture’s aesthetical paths and intermedia negotiations through work analyses, background and production studies, interviews with stakeholders, discussions and technical experiments.

Spanning across a year, Elemental Dynamite begins with a series of screening programs and technique-intensive laboratories from and by artists local and worldwide, in order to gather a range of stakeholders who contribute to new knowledge of the realities of animation practices: creators, curators, theorists, researchers, educators and animation enthusiasts at large. Elemental Dynamite adopts diverse strategies. Screening events and symposiums present a corpus of landmark experimentation from around the world; workshops and technical laboratories open up the many forgotten techniques that have marked the animation histories that have made our contemporary scene. Elemental Dynamite asserts the importance for all stakeholders to understand image-making’s technical processes. We seek the expandability of animation, as an expressive and aesthetic practice, and as general and historical knowledge. All this goes on the agenda of our research team alongside the 6-month public events. Elemental Dynamite is thus meant to be a catalyst for discovery that hopefully leads to a more holistic view of the history of animation practices, with Hong Kong at the centre of our study, and poses critical questions to the writing of local media histories.

This research would not have been possible without the Hong Kong Arts Development Council’s full support.
