PowerPoint Animation Effects
2014

PowerPoint Animation Effects brings together all the available animation effects found on the user-level software Microsoft PowerPoint 2010.

Usually applied in slideshow presentations to animate photographs and other images, these effects are peripheral tools that are only to be witnessed fleetingly. Their function is in embodying the image, and once realised, in quickly vanishing. As software change over time, and as new versions are introduced, older effects that marked our memories of technology are considered dated and soon replaced.

PowerPoint Animation Effects foregrounds these now obsolete transition effects, as they continue to animate nothing but themselves, transitioning from one blank image to the next.
