News Gifizer is a digital resource that scans the most popular online media headlines from the world and visually represents them into GIF collages, based on Geocities Archive. The results are renewed with each visit.
The work argues on the epistemology of current mass media outlets and the phenomena of knowledge distribution. The results, that reflect the internet aesthetics from the 90’s, become twisted after some refreshes. The work is not only about the search engines algorithms that facilitate media phobias such as eurocentrism, racism, classism. The grids become a visualisation of contemporary internet problematics, that can actually be visually rooted since its beginnings.
