Mesmerizing Minimalist GIFs

By @girlpollen · On March 18, 2014

Zolloc, AKA Hayden Zezula, is an Austin, Texas-based visual artist and animator who works in Photoshop and Cinema 4D. Find his website, along with more GIFs, here.

 

GIFs are big right now. Once relegated to sites like Reddit and Tumblr, the GIF is now being included in gallery exhibitions, new media festivals and even being sold as artwork. Zolloc’s work is not your run-of-the-mill datamosh glitch-fest, or a three second clip of an eyeroll from RuPaul’s Drag Race that perfectly describes how you feel right now–it’s just well-executed design. Part minimalist sculpture, part mind-bending optical illusion, and all-around nice to look at–we’re big fans.
