What are these things? I really don’t know. I was doing my annual tidy-up-the-computer, poking around my Google Photos folder, and found a cache of these flip-style animated gifs of some manuscripts from our collection. I don’t remember making them, but I must have (the dates on the files are July 2015, so it wasn’t that long ago). I have a thing for experimentation - trying something out to see what happens - and all I can figure is that this is some kind of automated animation experiment from this summer that I decided wasn’t worthwhile. But looking at them now, they’re almost hypnotic. So here you go!
