Meet the Artist Making GIFs to Ridicule All the Shit Women Deal With. The Spanish artist and illustrator Isabel Chiara makes some of the smartest GIFs I've ever seen, with punchlines that really do justice to the literal meaning of the word: The moving images are funny and gorgeous, but they're also allusive, sinister, and political.
Chiara, who was born and lives in Seville, Spain, uses the new(ish) medium to make a more dynamic kind of collage, mixing influences from a large expanse of art history; her work has been compared to Monty Python, but it also recalls Dada, surrealism, pop art, the Renaissance, and some flair and gravitas of the baroque and rococo, too.
Her piece "George Clooney Is Inside" won the 2014 Giphoscope Award for best collage. (The honor earned her the eponymous "giphoscope," an analog GIF machine that flips still images in quick succession to bring GIFs to life.) BROADLY: How long have you been working in GIFs? Isabel Chiara: I have worked with moving images for the last seven years. The Most Fantastic Architecture of the Soviet Union Was Built on Paper. Alexander Brodsky and Ilya Utkin, “Hill with a Hole” (1987/90) (courtesy of Ronald Feldman Fine Arts Inc) Restricted by the aesthetic limits on architecture in the Soviet Union, Alexander Brodsky and Ilya Utkin imagined the most fantastic cities and wondrous structures on paper.
From 1978 until the end of their partnership in 1993, Brodsky and Utkin collaborated on etchings dense with precarious scaffolding, classical domes, huge glass towers, and other visionary architecture that referenced everything from ancient tombs to Le Corbusier’s sprawling city plans.

Jul 30, 2014 Once upon a time, there were a lot of hacky Catskills jokes about people who would make you look at their vacation slides.
Said people were regarded as cruel, thoughtless human-torturers, oblivious to the idea that literally no one gave a shit about staring at pictures of them and the fact that their poor guests were bored to death. Today, in the age of the internet, we do not ever have to worry again about going to someone’s house for casseroles and Canasta only to find ourselves trapped in a living room looking at pictures of Uncle Bernie wearing a lei and posing whimsically with a hula girl cutout. But now it is like we pretty much live in someone else’s boring vacation slideshow. Half of all people now are monomaniacally convinced that the rest of the world is positively on tenterhooks, dying to know what their dinner looks like or what things they’ve put in mason jars that week.

Image of the Day: Aquarium Phonebooth - Food - GOOD. Lighting designer Benoit Deseille and artist Benedetto Bufalino transformed this phone booth in Lyon, France, into an aquarium, as part of the city's annual Festival of Light.
In an accompanying statement, the artists explain the inspiration behind the piece: With the advent of the mobile telephone, telephone booths lie unused. We rediscover this glass cage transformed into an aquarium, full of exotically colored fish; an invitation to escape and travel. It's a creative way to transform disused infrastructure into an everyday source of wonder and beauty—or, if you're of a more pessimistic frame of mind, a vision of our climate-changed future.
