In 2003, the Prix Ars Electronica jury recognised “Untitled” by Christoph Ammann (Computer Animation) with a Honorary Mention.
Untitled was made within six months as a final project for the Vancouver Film School. The goal of the project was to animate a complex robot to move like an animal, and so unite interesting aspects of the mechanical world and the organic world in one figure.
