Description: In celebration of the Internet Archive’s 20th anniversary, drop by the Teaching and Visualization Lab at the James B. Hunt Jr. Library to explore an ubiquitous part of the late 90s-early 2000s internet - the animated GIF. Librarians at NCSU have created an open-source program to ingest and display hundreds of animated GIFs from Geocities websites at a time, at random. The result is a delightful and unusual immersive experience that exposes the creativity of early web design and the cultural diversity that thrived within fan and interest websites.
“Open in Action” is a series of workshops, talks, and hands-on demonstrations that exemplify the possibilities for open research at NC State. #OpenNCSU
