GIF stands for graphics interchange format,
for a full look at the format and meaning have a look here, the ones posted today are from Benjamin
Zimmerman of KonkreteGifs,
he uses
pencils and Stabilo markers to create hand-drawn geometric animations, cubes,
hexagons, and other angular shapes are presented as three-dimensional
explorations on plain white or gridded paper,
“I really love GIFs because they have to be short, but at the
same time infinite loops,” the German artist explained to Colossal. “… I really
like the unsteady character of my hand-drawn GIFs, they have something human
that my 3D animations were missing. There are always little errors in my work.”,
in
2013 Zimmerman began a Daily Cube project on Tumblr where he posted drawings,
images or GIFs related to cubes each day,
after
365 days Zimmerman ceased regular posting, however he still updates the site
with some of his favorite cubed GIFs,
His new project KonkreteGifs was inspired by Concrete art, a movement towards geometric abstraction in the 1930s and 40s, You can see his new work on Tumblr and follow him on Twitter, if you fancy trying to make a GIF yourself this is a good place to start.
