This anthology is a demo in replacement animation; this means each frame of motion is a unique 3D printed puppet. Three genres are explored to survey the atmospheric potential of the technique. BLUE GOOSE A western poking fun at the enshittification of our online spaces. CLUB ROW A film noir on data privacy featuring a hypnotic, spinning staircase. MYTHACRYLATE A modernist fantasy for the century of the self, making use of the multiplicity of characters inherent to replacement animation.
