Many pieces draw on the experiences of the last year or so we’ve all struggled through: “This is about pining for romantic Love during times of isolation,” claims contributor Dax Norman. And the stickers along with the vibrant colours of the holograms and typography are a sensory feast that leave you wanting to explore and experience each page over and over again. The book features tactile delights as well as visuals such as the velvety matt lamination of the pages. Giphy has curated gallery shows in the past with a similar aim, like Loop Dreams, NYC's GIFs of Time and Giphy Film Fest – which was New York’s first micro-film festival. The project began as an opportunity to commission and support independent artists as the pandemic impacted work for creatives and freelancers.
The book is the result of the latest collaboration from Giphy with digital artists to help them reimagine the potential of gifs and stickers beyond the digital realm. By doing so, the publication hopes to make the viewer appreciate the intricate details present in a single frame of animation, as well as the piece in its dynamic entirety.

This work is an example of tactile artwork that can tactilely feel.”Įach page also includes a QR code which allows readers to view the full animation on a smartphone. And Matthias Brown says “This is part of a series of hand drawn animations drawn on my hands. “The art I created for this book is a potent blend of Indigenous Futurism and Queer Mutant Magick!” says Edgar Fabian Frias. You can see some of the digital works featured in the book from the contributors.
It hails as the first animated book of gif art: the physical, limited edition publication – with only 750 copies – uses something called lenticular holograms (holograms that change as you move around them), stickers, and image flips to translate 35 pieces of digital animation to the real world. It sees 35 international artists showcase what the phrase means to them. The driving concept of the publication was “Be Animated” – the same as Giphy’s mantra and mission statement. It’s a physical book that “brings the magic of animation to the static page”.
