It’s great to see a lot of folks taking up the Tate Museum 1840s GIF Party, as a ds106 assignment, and on giffight. I could not rest without finding one more to do.
Walter Richard Sickert saw the typical tranquility of a French street scene in Café des Tribunaux, Dieppe, only missing the smell of fresh baguettes and gentle hobnobbing noise of such a cultured people.
But Sickert really was not observing all the street action; apparently the Americans were cruising around in an 1890’s Hummer…
(larger version lurks beneath)
(Modified the first version to add more slow street animation, a bouncing ball, tumbleweed at the end)….
Get your GIF on the Tate’s artwork, do so before February 2 to get yours included in the show.
Love it! The initial calm let’s us appreciate the tranquil setting before the bright yellow Hummer rips through the scene. Both subtle and over-the-top!
So. Are you saing you LIKED that gif? Or just having fun with the anachronicity of it?
I like all my GIFs.
Don’t you?
