Prosthetic Knowledge Picks: The 3D Gif 

In this submission, with the animated GIF format both celebrating it’s 25th birthday and becoming the U.S. word of the year, I take a look at some creative projects which take the 2D format and takes it into another dimensional context.

Included are ‘Gifpumper’, a community GIF collage project which can place a series of GIFs in a 3D space, ‘Animated GIF in 3D’ which displays the GIF frames spatially (bottom left image), ‘GIF 3D Gallery’ which can take a GIF and place it on a virtual gallery plinth (top image), and ‘GLGIF’ (bottom right image), a piece of code which can be set up to create a spinning GIF video wall with music.

Also included to test these projects are GIFs by a few Tumblr artists - DVDP, V5MT and Max Capacity.
