This year’s Pictoplasma Pictopia event is upon us. Events run from the 17th of March to the 22nd, all centered at Berlin’s Haus der Kulturen der Welt (House of World Cultures), which was designed by Hugh Stubbins Jr in the 1950s. The Speakers include Saiman Chow, James Jarvis and STUDIOaka’s Marc Craste, and there’s a vast animation line-up including Don Hertzfeldt’s Everything Will Be Ok, Jamie Hewlett’s piece for the BBC Journey To The East and David OReilly’s Please Say Something and Octocat Adventure. Speaking of David OReilly, here’s his Official Opening Animation clip, which is based on a concept he and event co-founder Peter Thaler dreamed up.
