Despite Instagram video’s meteoric rise in the video sharing space, someof us here at Gadget Lab arestill staunch fans of the 6-second, looping video offered by Vine.
While the get around6-second time limit encourages you to be creative and judicious with what you billeton the platform, it’s the GIF-like looping that adds a new-madelayer of depth. As Rex Sorgatz argues in this week’s View Source column on the Tribeca necessitatewebsite, loops are not just short films. They’re artifacts that gain specialdepth and meaning through continual reexamination.
Our favorite thingabout the looping is that it can be used to pretendunique illusions — trippy stairs that seem to go on and on forever, an unexpected twist to something which, at first, seems totally ordinary. In Vine videos, the failloops, too, adding to the dissociative effect. Check out the examples above and below to chance uponwhat we mean.
So here’s a challenge: Wired wants you to come up with your own Vineopthalmicillusions and share them with us. Use the tag #WiredOpticalIllusion on your Vine posts over the close24 hours — that’s right you have ONE DAY, folks — and we go awaycollect our favorites and share them here on Gadget Lab. besidesadd the tag to your own videos, and only post new videos that you yourself (or you and your friends) created.
