Abstract animation is a form of animation that focuses on visual elements rather than storytelling or character development. It often uses shapes, colors, and patterns to create a dynamic visual experience. This type of animation can evoke emotions and ideas through movement and rhythm, allowing viewers to interpret the visuals in their own way. Unlike traditional animation, which typically follows a narrative, abstract animation emphasizes artistic expression. It can be found in various media, including film, video art, and digital installations. Notable artists in this field include Oskar Fischinger and John Whitney, who explored the relationship between sound and visual movement.
