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

Psychedelic Geometric GIFs by David Whyte | Third Monk image 1

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 Stoner Circle – That ’70s Show Gif Collection

The Stoner Circle - That '70s Show Gif Collection | Third Monk image 19

The Stoner Circle is a popular setting in That ’70s Show where the buds all get high in Eric Forman’s basement.

Usually, the cannabis is supplied by Hyde, who gets it from Leo (Tommy Chong). The most potent “stash” was given to them during the 5th Season, when Leo left town and gave them an entire film reel full of weed as a parting gift.

Enjoy our favorite GIF moments from the stoner circle in that ’70s show:

Phenakistoscope – The Psychedelic Birth of Animation, Art Gallery

Phenakistoscope - The Psychedelic Birth of Animation, Art Gallery  | Third Monk image 6

-cover

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.
