OKKULT Motion Pictures

Alessandro Scali(1972, artist & creative researcher) and Marco Calabrese (1985, visual & art maker) are OKKULT Motion Pictures: Art, Education and Entertainment through Animated GIFs, a Tumblr-based project created in Italy in 2012. OKKULT Motion Pictures aims to bring to light the most interesting and unusual out-of-copyright moving images occulted in Internet archives, through a series of animated gifs. A digital curation project for the diffusion of open knowledge. At the same time, we create our own art GIFs experimenting various techniques such as stereoscopic GIFs, cinemagraphs, ASCII GIFs, talking GIFs etc. to show all the potentialities of the GIF as a true work of art, at the same level of a painting or a sculpture.
