In the past two decades, many artists have adopted the internet as a
medium of expression. Amongst the many tendrils of the internet,
animated gifs seem to be a favorite among artists. With the charm of
cinema or kinetic sculpture, less than the brevity of a youtube video
and the happy, throw-away feeling of a .jpeg, the animated .gif is
truyly a well-balanced medium for expression.
However, much mystery still shrouds this seemingly new outlet for artists.
In this brief workshop, Alfredo Salazar-Caro – a Chicago based
multimedia artist and part of Chicago’s “Dirty New Media” scene – will
offer a brief history of the .gif as well as various techniques to
create and propagate this fresh format or art.
This workshop will take place on Wednesday, January 16th at 6:30PM.
If you would like to participate and utilize the instructions in
real-time, please bring a laptop with Photoshop (CS4 or higher)
installed.
