Experimental Animation

An unencumbered approach to animation that is more concerned with novelty, formal play, and personal expression over conventional or commercial approaches to the form.

As a category Experimental Animation is malleable, usually encompassing any approach to making Moving Images that doesn't fall within the industry standards of its moment. This includes cinematic, theatrical, digital, expanded, and gallery exhibition formats.

Can be shortened to "EA"
Robert - Hey Spicy and Helen, would you agree that Asparagus (1979) by Suzan Pitt is one of the best pieces of Experimental Animation that exists?

Spicy - Yes!! The part where she poops pieces of asparagus into the toilet really does it for me.

Helen - Totally some great American EA! The only thing that would've made it better is if it was Sand Animation.

Experiment

So yeah... This is clearly some kind of that... I don't condone this.
Hym "Experiment though this may be, all I've done is prove that YOUR thing makes THIS thing completely unnecessary. And proves that it's counterproductive. That's got to be embarrassing. Right?"

Iam "I did notice the Buckley thing though."

Hym "Oh? Do you want some cheese? Squeak like a good lab rat and maybe you'll get some! Hahahahahaaa!"

Iam "You're... We're the same guy..."

Hym "Which means I'm only half a bitch! Hahahahahaha!"

Iam 😑 "............"

Hym "Pfft HAHAHAHAHAHA!!"

Iam "Yeah. Alright. I'm leaving."

Hym Hahaha wait! I'm not done laughing at you yet! Hahahahahahahaha!!"

Experiment of one

I’ve become particularly impressed with AI and especially one called Poe (and its bot assistants). This is an edited definition* of one this AI-powered chatbot churned out in a matter of seconds:

An "experiment of one" refers to a type of experimental design where an individual serves as both the subject and the experimenter. In this type of experiment, the individual tests a hypothesis or investigates a research question by manipulating variables and observing the outcomes on themselves. It is a self-experimentation approach that allows individuals to gather data and draw conclusions based on their own experiences.

Examples of Experiment of One:
1. Personal Health and Lifestyle: An individual may conduct an experiment of one to test the effects of different diets, exercise routines, or sleep patterns on their own health and well-being.
2. Cognitive Performance: Someone might investigate the impact of various study techniques, memory strategies, or environmental factors on their own cognitive performance through an experiment of one.
3. Productivity and Time Management: An individual may experiment with different productivity techniques, work schedules, or task prioritization methods to optimize their own productivity and time management skills.

I can't do better than that, but I will add that this is sometimes abbreviated as "n=1" or "n of 1."

*Only edited for length — the original was too long for Urban Dictionary’s space parameters.
In an **experiment of one**, Dr. Kessler tested his willpower by buying two gooey chocolate chip cookies that he didn't plan to eat. (Source: "How the Food Makers Captured Our Brains." Tara Parker-Pope. New York Times.

An oft-used phrase is "Each of us is an **experiment of one**."

Experimentalistic

The habit of sticking to just trying something new and dropping it after short period of time. Used to define people feeling empowered by something, trying to execute it but unable to keep up or proceed with it.
You never finish a game completely and keep buying new ones, you're quite experimentalistic.
