Story

I never really thought about how GIFS could be considered electronic literature until I took a look at Kajetan Obarski’s work. I realized through his work that GIFS are able to tell a story or send a message out to the viewers. I have come across many gifs on Tumblr and now I see that many of the GIFS I have seen where purposely arranged in a particular order, so that a story can be created. And I was able to notice that Kajetan seems to have GIFS that are all related to death because he wanted to let it be known that we are not really dead when we die (Obarski). It can be inferred that he believes we still are here in this world based on the fact that his gifs involve skeletons moving around (Obarski). Anyway, I kind of got inspired by his work so I plan on using some GIFS I found on Tumblr to make a story of my own just for fun. Of course, GIFS will be interpreted differently just like books are, but that is the beauty of it. It’s amazing how there is so many possibilities in each person’s work. I feel like the way we interpret things says a lot about who we are..It seems to be based on our current knowledge, experiences and feelings. What do you think?
