âmiami synthesis 2k21â

oscilloscope art on a 1981 analog X/Y scope (unedited and colorized versions)
fun story with this one!! I got funding to go to Miami for Art Week in December â21 with one of my mentors but I wasnât showing any work in an official capacity, so I walked around all week with a clear plastic backpack and a barely-working old iPad facing out of it, running the colorized version of this gif as a sort of guerilla exhibition xD

:o <333 it me and mentioned in the same breath as some of my heroes this doesnât feel real!!!!!
Category is: The Art of GIF
Welcome to Novemberâs Artist Picks series! This month, weâve invited @catswilleatyou to share posts surrounding the theme, âThe Art of GIF.â
Here is what they have to say about it below!
What does âThe Art of GIFâ mean to you?
The GIF is an art form that was born on the web. Videos existed in other places; paintings, photos existed in other places. GIFs just didnât exist anywhere until the internet came along. Many artists were thrilled to be at the moment in art history when this medium was born. Even though the compression techniques are outdated and the functionality has been surpassed by other formats, the perfect infinite loop of the GIF has yet to be achieved by another file format. MP4s still have a hiccup when they start over. While GIFs are widely used for quick jokes and communication, many artists still believe there is more depth to this medium. I believe that as digital art continues to gain acceptance as a high art form, GIFs will eventually be realized as a cornerstone to it. To me, the art of GIF is about working within limitations and birthing something infinite.
Why did you pick these particular posts?
A few years ago I started creating GIFs that are Phenakistiscopes. I couldnât find any resources on how to make Phenakistiscopes, but I found lots of tons of centuries old Phenakistiscopes that were making amazing GIFs. I sort of backwards engineered my own method of making them and I continue to explore this medium with GIFs. Thereâs a lot to be learned by limiting yourself to a small number of frames. I keep thinking Iâm done making these but every time I work on one, I learn a new animation trick.
(Below are specific mentions of the artists @catswilleatyou chose posts from.)
@volvulent is a mysterious artist to me. I know nothing about their personal life. Iâve never been able to find them on other social media platforms. I feel so fortunate to have stumbled on their work many years ago. They are a complete master of organic form and hand drawn infinite loops. You can follow some of the shapes on these drawings for several seconds, and then when you go back and study the art closely, you discover that the whole looping sequence is only fraction of a second long.
@katecursed uses old and outdated technology in ways Iâll never understand. Tons of analog CRT TVs, oscilloscopes, old video games, and synths. I love it. She grew up around this stuff and is extremely knowledgeable. Her GIFs are timeless.
@alcrego is an absolute workhorse and in my opinion, a historically important GIF artist. He has an instantly recognizable voice using almost entirely black and white. I think he would even go so far as to say he only uses light. The minimalism is always deceptiveâthere is so much depth to his exploration of GIF as an artistic medium.
Iâve also chosen some very âclassicâ looking @kidmograph GIFs. I credit kidmograph with bringing the retro/video game style back into fashion about a decade ago. When he started posting this stuff, I hadnât seen anything like it. Shortly after (and still to this day), there was a huge movement of artists that co-opted this approach. I wanted to include their work here because when you see this look, I want you to know where the echo started. I also want to say that this is just one of many tricks kidmograph has. They explore a wide range of styles and approaches, and they are continually evolving.
@mrdiv always had such a knack for color, compositing, and simplicity. When I was first learning 3D, they were a great artist for me to study because I saw how much emotion and reaction they can get with using very very little. I love the minimalism of their work.
I love how @maxcapacity incorporates vintage equipment in his process to create such wild psychedelic GIFs. Theyâre always pretty saturated with lovely colors. For me, thereâs a heavy hitting moment with this work where Iâm watching my childhood get spit back to me in perhaps a more truthful version than I even recall it. Itâs hard to explain but the nostalgia lures me in, and then Iâm cut with a darkness by them. Thereâs also some humor sprinkled in.
@zbagsâs work is instantly recognizable with the way they use creepy lively eyeballs behind faces. Collinâs work is disturbing and fun. Thereâs always an added bonus in reading his wild descriptions and titles. When there was a file size limit to GIFs being posted on Tumblr, I was always impressed by their ability to get a very long and detailed animation into a small file. I think heâs doing lots of frame rate tricks I still donât think Iâve ever figured it out.
