AppleBuddy TV

We programmed and curated a remote film festival installation at the Chicago Cultural Center. AppleBuddy TV reimagines experimental and independent animation in a familiar way. Who needs big screens when you and your closest buds can huddle together and flip through channels with different curated animation.

 
 

Stolen from a dimension where Chicago experimental and independent animators are superstars.

You wake in a haze to the sound of TV static in the other room. It’s 2am. You follow the super-bright light emanating from the box in the corner. Normally there’s nothing on, but tonight something’s different. You’re no longer dreaming, but these films...what do they dream about?


Process

We built and programmed the AppleBuddy TV installation. Using Python we were able to simulate a world where animation was the only thing on TV!
