GIFs are one of the oldest image formats used on the web. Throughout their history, they have served a huge variety of purposes, from functional to entertainment. Now, 25 years after the first GIF was created, they are experiencing an explosion of interest and innovation that is pushing them into the terrain of art. In this episode of Off Book, we chart their history, explore the hotbed of GIF creativity on Tumblr, and talk to two teams of GIF artists who are evolving the form into powerful new visual experiences.

I was so thrilled when Jenni invited me to shoot some of the beauty images and cover for her book, I grew up doing DIY projects with my Grandma in Texas so it was a lot of fun seeing how home projects have come along the past 20 years! ***************Last Night’s Book Launch Party at the Coach Store in Soho!***************

Le gif et la 3D s'invitent dans la photographie
Le GIF, on le voit tous comme cette image kitsh animée en 8 bits qui envahissait les pages web à une époque aujourd'hui presque ancienne, image souvent aux couleurs criardes et dont l'intérêt d'utilisation était quasiment inexistant, en plus d'être une hérésie pour les yeux du lecteur. Pourtant, ce format est remis au goût du jour et ne semble pas prêt de disparaître de sitôt, apparaissant désormais dans de nombreux milieux artistiques, clips, images et photographies. Premier exemple, ce tumblr où l'on trouve une multitude de gifs animés reprenant des scènes de cinéma, immortalisant un mouvement, une scène, un regard, célébrant ainsi la justesse d'une danse endiablée de Pulp Fiction ou bien encore l'attitude désinvolte d'un Don Corleone dans The godfather.

STORY OF AN UNWANTED RETURN: THE GIF SAGA. - Files
Le format .gif, devenu aujourd'hui figure emblématique de l'internet 2.0, n'a pourtant pas eu la vie facile. Longtemps considéré comme l'hystérique de la famille des images en tout genre, ahurissant de mauvais goût et très mauvais pour notre acuité visuelle, il marque aujourd'hui un retour fulgurant. The .gif, currently an emblematic part of the Web 2.0, hasn't always had the best reputation. Long considered as the black swan of the image world and characterized by its questionable taste is making its big comeback.

le GIF vous connaissez, c'est l'ancêtre des animations, utilisé surtout dans les bannières publicitaires sur le web. Mais depuis quelques années les animations en flash prennent le dessus. Mais là un GIF comme ca je n'en avais jamais vu. C'est entre King Kong (version 1930) Jurassik Parc et un documentairede la BBC ! Réalisation incroyable, mise en scène délire et déroulé de l'animation impeccable.
Animated GIFs may be the latest way to crack a joke, but at one London exhibit, they’re also an art form. Born in 1987: The Animated GIF, a recently launched project at The Photographers’ Gallery, features more than 40 animated GIFs created by artists of various disciplines — many of whom were working with the medium for the first time. The gallery has dedicated a garage-door-size screen to the digital creations, which include a woman in a sarong twirling a hoola-hoop, a shifting block of squares and a landscape with three trees that subtly sway with the wind. “In a world where most Digital SLR cameras can shoot high definition video, digital technology raises questions concerning what a photograph is and how we make sense of it,” said Katrina Sluis, the curator of a digital series that begins with the animated GIF exhibit, in a statement. “Our opening show embraces the animated GIF as a uniquely screen-based image.”

Stanley Kubrick en GIFs animés
Stanley Kubrick fascine les geeks, on le sait . C'est l'un des réalisateurs les plus commentés et détournés sur le web. Logiquement, sa filmographie a donné lieu à un hommage en GIFs. Ces images animées saisissent un instant des oeuvres, pour en isoler un mouvement, révélant ou soulignant un détail répété à l'infini. Rendus mécaniques, tels un disque rayé, ces motifs tournent en boucle, créant un effet hypnotique parfois comique dans lequel les personnages grimaçants de Kubrick deviennent des marionnettes-icônes condamnées à l'éternité.

Screencast-o-matic is a popular web-based screencasting tool that lets you create movies of your computer screen right inside the browser without requiring any software. It runs as a Java applet and can therefore record movies of any Windows, Mac or Linux machine. Now most screencasting software can output movies in popular video formats like MPEG-4 or Windows Media – you upload the video to YouTube and then use Flash or HTML5 based player to embed that screencast back into your website or blog.

Click the arrow pointing down on the animation box, click Select All Frames and then right click on the numbers on one of the frames and select 00.8 seconds (you can choose something else if you want) Press play and if you’re happy with it then go to File>Save For Web & Devices You have to make sure your gif is under 500K (you can see the gif size just under your file in this window) so play around with the Colours here. Also look for a box that might say Noise or Diffuision and change it to Pattern, this will reduce the file size to allow more colours.
