https://marcellamoliner.myportfolio.com/workGone to Swim celebrates Denver Digerati's eighth anniversary of curating explorative animation. This 3D computer-generated animation honors its’ legacy by reminding us to embrace the present moment and the natural environment surrounding us. This piece draws inspiration from the meandering banks of Cherry Creek and the South Platte River that runs through the heart of Denver's landscape. The two fantastical critters basking in the water remind us to relish in the natural splendors that enrich our lives—inviting us to immerse ourselves in the passing moment.
This artwork is curated and part of the Digerati Emergent Media Festival - Welcome to the Here and Now 2023
