Breaking the Ice
by Larry Malone
🏆 Honorary Mention · Prix Ars Electronica 1988
In 1988, the Prix Ars Electronica jury recognised “Breaking the Ice” by Larry Malone (Computer Animation) with a Honorary Mention.
"Breaking the Ice" demonstrates the ability of the Symbolics LISP programmed system to permit animators to assign behavorial characteristics to animated objects (in this case birds and fish) and then direct the computer to generate action sequences with only broad direction.
