It’s currently art fair madness in Miami and for the occasion Paddle8 is organising (the first?) exhibition of animated gifs, Moving the Still, selected by a rather random assortment of people including James Frey and Michael Stipe. The exhibition is being hosted on Tumblr but there is also a ‘live’ exhibition in Miami. I’m not sure how you exhibit animated gifs or even if that is really necessary, but I would be fascinated to see what the curators have come up with… and how long it takes before the visitors’ eyes start bleeding.
I knew it was just a matter of time…
