In this activity, we got to experiment with making gifs. We were asked to consider what the alchemist cafe would look like and then create a gif that illustrates that experience.

My Selfies Keep My Secrets Guide
Until recently, I considered myself a selfie-queen. I would post pictures of myself daily on my social media feeds. The pictures made me feel confident and made me see myself as pretty.

Aggravation Guide
So, I wasn’t really sure what story I wanted to create using sound until I got lost in the incessant clacking sound of my keyboard. Then, I knew what I wanted to say: My message relates more to how annoying certain aspects of digital life and communication can be. It’s great–don’t get me wrong–but it can be more… »
What You Make (Haha) of It Guide
My gif to you~ To me, a lot of our discussion has revolved around whether or not new digital media is art. Does it have that essence to it that makes traditional art moving and purposeful and, well, art? Can work made through digital means?

Selfies for the NSA Agent Assigned to You~ Guide
Big Brother’s got to know my angles, right??? Lol My main gif here plays off the idea that out online activity is always being monitored. Specifically, I’m referencing the ongoing joke online (since the Snowden thing???) that all American citizens have an NSA/FBI agent assigned to watch them. I used a clip from the mockumentary What more… »
