Spanish photographer A.L. Crego adds life to his favorite pieces of street art murals by turning them into trippy animated street art GIFs. The street art can stand on it’s own but the messages are given an extra boost with motion.

Psychedelic Geometric GIFs by David Whyte
David Whyte’s minimalistic use of geometric shapes and psychedelic color places an increased emphasis on motion, and leaves one dumbstruck at how he conceives of each Geometric GIF.
David Whyte’s background in mathematics and physics greatly enhanced his understanding of motion and geometry and it wasn’t long before he was churning out some of the most popular geometric GIF animations shared on his Tumblr, Bees & Bombs.
In a somewhat rare move he happens to be quite open about his methods and often posts source code and tips to help other artists. – Colossal

The Trip Out Gallery – Bizarre Psychedelic Animated GIFs
Paolo Ceric creates bizarre GIFs, and he’s really good at it!
His trippy animated GIFs seem to be inspired by sacred geometry and so-called impossible objects – think the Penrose stairs.
They’re fun to look at – especially if you’re already tripping – sorta like most things, I guess.
Hope you like them, sound off in the comments below.

Phenakistoscope – The Psychedelic Birth of Animation, Art Gallery
Nearly 155 years before CompuServe debuted the first animated gif in 1987, Belgian physicist Joseph Plateau unveiled an invention called the Phenakistoscope, a device that is largely considered to be the first mechanism for true animation.
The simple gadget relied on the persistence of vision principle to display the illusion of images in motion.
The phenakistoscope used a spinning disc attached vertically to a handle. Arrayed around the disc’s center were a series of drawings showing phases of the animation, and cut through it were a series of equally spaced radial slits.
The user would spin the disc and look through the moving slits at the disc’s reflection in a mirror. The scanning of the slits across the reflected images kept them from simply blurring together, so that the user would see a rapid succession of images that appeared to be a single moving picture. – Juxtapoz
So what kinds of things did people want to see animated as they peered into these curious motion devices? Lions eating people. Women morphing into witches. And some other pretty wild and psychedelic imagery, not unlike animated gifs today.
