Summary
November 2022 guest curation for the Artist Picks Tumblr series, themed “The Art of GIF.” @catswilleatyou selected six GIF artists and wrote individual notes on each. Max Capacity was featured with the following:
“I love how @maxcapacity incorporates vintage equipment in his process to create such wild psychedelic GIFs. They’re always pretty saturated with lovely colors. For me, there’s a heavy hitting moment with this work where I’m watching my childhood get spit back to me in perhaps a more truthful version than I even recall it. It’s hard to explain but the nostalgia lures me in, and then I’m cut with a darkness by them. There’s also some humor sprinkled in.”
The post received 402 notes (357 likes, 39 reblogs, 6 comments).
Other featured artists: @volvulent, @katecursed, @alcrego, @kidmograph, @mrdiv, @zbags.
