gifSlap is VJ software for people who love GIFs.
A great tool for creating strange and colorful patterns that loop and shimmer with the playback of GIFs. It was designed as a live visuals program to enhance electronic music shows, but it can also be used to create compelling compositions and net art.
gifSlap has been used at several CODAME events as an interactive installation. There are a variety of control options, from any MIDI controller, USB gamepad, or other MIDI-emitting program to the basic keyboard and mouse setup. We’ve used it to feature GIF artists at the GIF Happy Hours / CODAME ART+TECH Rendezvous.
