Kidmograph was born as a concept in 2012 with the objective of growing an universal but at the same time personal library of animated loops that chases a feeling, a sensation, sometimes abstract, sometimes too literal. sometimes broken, sometimes clean and pure. The concept of an endless loop (GIF) was the main resource to bring and share these ideas to life back then.Not only because the format can be loop-able, but also every computer can run it. The endless GIF (sometimes cheerful and dynamic, sometimes oppressive) exemplifies perfectly our need of transcendence in a finite world.
