Colby Golden was born in Florida and raised in West Virginia. Golden received his BFA in animation from Savannah College of Art and Design in 2012, and his Master of Fine Art in Animation at Ball State University. Golden’s work challenges the ever mounting push in the field toward digital forms by exploring the physicality of animation, pushing the possibilities of realizing animation as fully physical and kinetic. However, he also embraces the digital forms as a way of displaying many of his artistic conceptions. His work has been displayed in the Atrium Gallery at Ball State University.
