More and more this work seems to take on characteristics of site specific art. Layering animation onto footage of an interview is like installing an artwork into a real locus: it's a space already heavily invested in meaning that the animation plays upon. Particularly I like the concepts of the 'host' and 'ghost' in site specific art, where the context/place hosts the artwork creating a dynamic/ephemeral relationship.
This point of view realised through reading:
