We’re raving fans of Laurel Ptak’s unerring eye for talent at I Heart Photograph.
Laurel’s latest project is curating a gallery show entitled Graphics Interchange Format, now on display at Brooklyn’s Bond Street Gallery.
Says Laurel, “I commissioned 26 photographers, designers, and new media artists to embrace this more than 20-year-old technology. They were given only 3 days to work on their projects and were encouraged, though not required, to incorporate photographic materials. Some had never made an animated GIF before and some were notorious for it.”
The 67 resulting GIFs will be shown on a 44-inch flat screen in an infinite loop, and sold in an unlimited edition for $20, accompanied by a personalized note from each artist.
