CompuServe’s venerable Graphics Interchange Format looks like it’s back in vogue again.
The GIF show was curated by Marisa Olson (of Rhizome) and the Rx Gallery, it opens tomorrow at the Rx Gallery in San Francisco and even has it’s own mySpace page. Participating artists include Cory Arcangel, Peter Baldes, Michael Bell-Smith, Jimpunk, Olia Lialina, Abe Linkoln, Guthrie Lonergan, Lovid, Tom Moody, Paper Rad, Paul Slocum, and Matt Smear.
Update:
I just saw Marisa Olson put links to some of the works in the show on a del.ciou.us page. Like this GIF by Michael Bell-Smith.
In other GIF news the Animated GIF Mashup was launched in early April. This project allows users to find their favorite animated gifs and combine them into a single wild page. It was developed at the Eyebeam OpenLab. There are quite a few mashups saved on Delicious
Hi. Thanks for the posting!
