Four Endless Loop Animation Gifs by Matthew Lucas
Some of the great looping gif animations bY Matthew Lucas. “The original version of the GIF format was called 87a. In 1989, CompuServe devised an enhanced version, called 89a, which added support for animation delays (multiple images in a stream were already supported in 87a), transparent background colors, and storage of application-specific metadata.“

Animation: Gifs by Eral Inci
Eral Inci is one of the newest generation of animated artists. He is also an accomplished photographer living in Turkey. He is best known for producing cloned motion video and GIFs as a series of images involve public places taken at night with light motion. Many of his works feature him as the animated subject. His animations are seamless and ‘clone-like’. He has created a variation of GIF animation coined “cloned motion video”. In many of his GIF’s, the loops incorporate ‘cloned’ or a copied image (many times himself as the subject) in an endless loop.
Erdal Inci has created a hypnotic series of GIFs that takes the concept of cloned motion to a truly eerie level. Often using images of himself in mundane situations, Inci transforms simple snapshots into entrancing video loops.

Photography by Zach Doughtery
Portland digital artist Zack Dougherty spends hundreds of hours on art that lasts half a second long and loops infinitely. Under the alias Hateplow, his growing body of work has attracted an international audience.
All of Hateplow’s compositions are digital and connected through elements of surrealism. Most of his time is dedicated to making the compositions look real: perfecting lighting of the floating orbs, syncing faint reflections in stone statues, having his own image peering back at the viewer.
His blog site is http://hateplow.tumblr.com
