Floating Discs
Riso Animation
In her exploration of optical illusion through Riso printing, this 25-frame experimental animation is quintessential Julia Schimautz. The beauty in combining print and animation, according to the designer, is the uncertainty of the outcome. Though designing it digitally, the imperfections and misregistrations of printing render a composition out of the artists control, more often than not producing something more interesting that one could imagine to create.

Animation
Screen Print
Even before riso animation, Julia Shimautz had already explored movement in her screen printed work.
Much like in ‘Floating Discs’, it is the beauty in uncertainty and nuance that has her hooked on printed animations. “Though designing it digitally, the imperfections and misregistrations of printing render a composition out of the artists control, more often than not producing something more interesting that one could imagine to create.”
