i have a gif(t) for you.

so far most of the projects that i have showcased have been older projects fro mthe late 90s. but here is an example of interenet culture and the influences and trappings of such a medium being tanslated into "real" life...
there is a show going on right now in san francisco that is all about GIFs. it is taking place at the Rx Gallery from may 3 to june 9th.
the show consists of video, prints, sculpture, etc that are based on or influenced by GIFs. (if you don't know GIF is a picture file format. and one of it's characteristics is that it allows animation.)
there is also a myspace page dedicated to the show (warning: it takes a while to load because so many people have posted images on the page and there is a lot of animation...)
the GIFs shown vary quite a lot in style and presentation. ranging from "crude" pixel oriented works to more polished and smooth animations. some are abstract and some are representational.
i could not find a picture of the sculptures that are shown at the gallery but i am curious to see how they are influenced and relate to GIFs...
this show relates back to my discussion about how gallery and museum owners are dealing with this new media art. here they are actually doing it. these are not as interactive as websites, so the issue of dealing with web interface and such is not present. i am assuming that there are projections of the GIFs on the walls, and the more traditional mediums are presented as you would expect.
i found this show through rhizome.org's spotlight right on their front page. rhizome.org is a site dedicated to new media art, which encompases any art that "uses technology in a significant way" so, althought it is not specifically web based art, it is related. because GIFs, as you know, are around because of the net and are most prevelant on the net.
