"GIF IT! is the first edition of a series of nomadic art exhibitions around GIF art. GIF IT! pulls Gifs out of screens and raise them as works of art. Animations are triggered when moving around via optical illusion. Magic! "

We live in a world where digital is increasingly present and where art holds a very important place. One year ago I wondered how GIF could be appreciated more naturally. It is time to propose a new art, appreciable off-screens without the need for a source of energy.

Digital art is increasingly exposed in galleries and museums. GIFs in particular have seen their interest soar with exhibitions in New York, San Francisco, Paris and even in Iran.

The first GIF IT! exhibition will help to spread digital art neither through a screen but in the physical world! GIF IT! combines traditional artistic experience with digital creations of our time. A unique concept that is emerging in Paris, the city of art and culture!

Many artists and illustrators produce and share their creations via the GIF format. The start-up Gif Arte enables these artists to bring their digital works in our physical world.

Gif Arte is the first platform spreading this type of art. It is an art of quality, moving, fun to watch, & unique. Bare in mind that it doesnt' requires any source of power.

Each artwork is framed, numbered (3, 12 and 100 copies according to the work) and delivered with a certificate of authenticity. Prints are of the highest quality. As for the artworks, they are framed by Nielsen and their latest Alpha Frames (high quality).

GIFS are available in several formats :

It's simple, the animation is triggered when moving around the work. No need of source power, it is a matter of optical illusion.

The technique used will be that of "lenticular printing" widespread for over a century, producing a sense of depth and animation. Lenticular imaging produces images that gives an impression of relief (3D) or animation depending on the angle.

The GIF IT! exhibition will be held in Paris, city of art and culture by reference.

The spot « Les Ateliers », is hybrid: gallery, showroom and coffee, A place at the crossroads of cultural diversity.

See you in the 15th district of Paris: 6 rue de Cléry.

Thanks to you, this is where you will have the opportunity to visit us from the 11th to the 24th of June 2015.

Gif Arte wishes to organizing exhibitions in worldwide cultural cities (Paris, Berlin, London, New York, Tokyo, Barcelona, etc. ..). Our goal is to produce the best GIF artists with high quality prints.
