Running Animation. McLaughlin often work from arbitrary designs and force human behavior to adapt to that structure. Many of the designs are realized in the form of 3D animation since they would never actually be built. In this installation the characters are both simply running but in opposite directions. They appear to run only when the viewer is also running.
Running Animation
McLaughlin often work from arbitrary designs and force human behavior to adapt
to that structure.
Many of the designs are realized in the form of 3D animation
since they would never actually be built.
The characters that she always uses,
Hefty Man and Slender Woman from the software package IfiniD, function as
everyman and everywoman.
In this installation they are both simply running but
in opposite directions.
They appear to run only when the viewer is also running.
The behavior of watching an animation is now dependent on the active
participation of the viewer.
McLaughlin received MFA from Hunter College and BFA
from Syracuse University.
She has also participated in the Skowhegan School of
Painting and Sculpture in 1992 and the "Artists in the Marketplace" program at
the Bronx Museum in 2001.
