ARTNIMATOLOGY

Artnimatology: A Brief Overview.
The term ARTNIMATOLOGY was created by Michael Ebere Chidubem in 2022.
Artnimatology is derived from the combination of three words: art, animation and ology. The core of the concept is envisioned to explore opportunities of intersection between a variety of multiple art forms and practices within a specific context with a view to gaining new knowledge, discovering new meanings as well as providing opportunities for information retention.
Artnimatology is inspired by the concept of interdisciplinary research where investigations around a subject is informed by a variety of disciplinary perspectives and contributions integrated to arrive at a systemic or holistic outcome. This is done by engaging in research for relevant solutions to problems, transcending the limitations of ‘expertise borders’ and engaging with specialists from multiple fields.
Artnimatology is projected to be dynamic in implementation by integrating information, techniques, data, perspectives, tools, theories, or concepts from multiple bodies of specialized knowledge (disciplines) thus advancing fundamental understanding that aids in tackling problems whose solutions might transcend the scope of one discipline or an area of research practice.
Conclusion
Artnimatology as a concept seeks to create opportunities for intersection between various art forms, animation and other disciplines to provide new meanings, contextual solutions, and a variety of research outputs. It is envisaged that artnimatology could offer the potential for unique opportunities for information retention through immersive experiences of the research output.
