The age of the silent GIF could be over. Increasingly, GIF artists are moving their practice to Instagram, where they have greater freedom of size, length, and sound. The short, grainy images were and are endearing, and forced real creative ingenuity as the GIF art form came of age, but artists like Scorpion Dagger, Traceloops, and Zolloc are growing self-sustaining audiences that demand new facets of creativity, and for that they're slowly transitioning their focus to the short video platform.A video posted by JamesScorpionDaggerKerr (@scorpiondagger) on Aug 1, 2015 at 12:32pm PDT
