Greatest Animations Last year the potentialities of the Compuserve Gif File were rediscovered for the web. And then the avalanche of animations snowballed. Today only few sites present no animation at all. Alas! Most of the time we meet annoying wobbly images, wandering pencils, nerve-racking rulers and boring banners. But there are a few exceptions you should not miss: really outstanding artistic animations: eye-candy. We present 12 of them.
The Greatest Animations on the Web






Picture This Now "Picture This Now" is the title of Richard Schindler's exhibit in our gallery. As the title suggests, his playing on words, graphics and gif animations are about visual perception. But language, etymology and semantics are a motif of his artistic experiments as well. Aesthetically pleasing and full of surprises, the eight sections and pages we present are really sophisticated and subtle experiments making use of WWW techniques and potentialities and at the same time give visitors a lot of pleasure.

Andreas Loeschner-Gornau Though we have surfed and searched a lot, we haven't found gif animations equal to his anywhere on the web: not wobbly pictures such as those that irritate us on so many sites, but artistic creations with really surprising and fascinating effects. Andreas Löschner-Gornau, working and living in Halle, in the former East Germany, is engaged in international "real-space installations" in the city as well. We present three of his best animations and two photo-stories.
