2009 Winner of the Ars Electronica award for computer animation.

“HA’Aki” is an expressionistic short film whose images and soundtrack were created simultaneously. Filmmaker Iriz Pääbo (CA) uses the term “animbits” to describe the cinematic vocabulary with which she depicts an ice hockey match. Though she herself isn’t all that big a fan of this sport—one that can get excessively raucous at times—the artist let herself be inspired by Eric Nesterenko, a hockey star of the 1960s and ‘70s. The result is a wonderfully unorthodox interpretation of Canada’s national sport. “HA’Aki” was awarded the Golden Nica in the COMPUTER ANIMATION / VISUAL EFFECTS category.

Winner of the NVArt competition. In this, the fourth NVArt competition, artists were invited to recreate their most imaginative fantasies in the style of master surrealist, Jacek Yerka. They did so in good measure, with 400 entries sent in from 65 countries. In an age where virtuality meets reality the surreal has become real.
