In 1998, the Prix Ars Electronica jury recognised “Runners” by Kazuma Morino (Computer Animation) with an Award of Distinction.
"Runners" by Kazuma Morino is appealing in its use of repetitive elements in an abstract choreography that plays with rhythm, space and motion. This is not only a formalist essay, it also provides a more Sisyphus point of view of the computer graphic world.
