Reading and Response #3
In recent years I often wonder where my life would be without gifs. Not only do they make people laugh, but they also can capture your mood without having to say anything. In one single gif you can self express your feelings, and they are visually stimulating and often bizarre. After reading the articles I find it so cool that there is limitless possibilities in making a gif like the pbs video says its uncharted territory, and pretty much you can mashup anything together. I think why I admire gifs so much is because they are really playful and capture a sense of reality. I also sometimes don’t mind the idea of appropriating other artwork that is out there on the internet to make gifs, but I also appreciate artists who are making them on their own to be viewed as art. It is a very interesting balance almost. In the end, I think I was mostly intrigued by the PBS video, those gif artists are incredible , and what they say about the creation of gifs is very inspiring and totally makes sense. I can definitely see how this could possibly be an evolution for photography. I am excited to see what lies ahead for the future of gifs . :)
