or pronouncements or elucidations… the weekly list of what kind of alchemy is happening in #netnarr
Alan Levine on Hatched as means to send video-like content over extremely limited bandwidth of the late 1908s internet, the Animated GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) has evolved from tiny pixelated cartoonish media to something evocative as art plus virally animated memes in social media.
