Beautiful Interfaces in a pavilion that focuses on social media interfaces, but is created to exist in the deep web - which is not a normal place for art and definitely not for social media. The Deep in the Void Miyö Van Stenis

GIFs are really global now. Well, not much more than before, but Alessandro Scali—who previously allowed us to bring GIFs anywhere with the Giphoscope—made a public Google Map based on @giphy artists list that gives visitors an easy way to see the glitchy, DIY animations from creatives all over the world. Explore the animation: here.

From Haydiroket in Turkey to Mike + Claire in New York (old favorites of The Creators Project), the map is the step in the right direction for categorizing and archiving the various individuals working in a medium that's only beginning to get recognized as an art medium. The map by no means represents the whole GIF community, and many names are missing, but as Scali notes, "it's a first step."

The map includes 78 artists from 19 different countries, which probably doesn't even scratch the surface of the amount of GIF tinkerers out there. ...
