This little looping movie of a sinuous nematode seems nearly the perfect marriage of format and subject: the winking, primitive, robust genre of the animated GIF; an ancient, simple, vermiform specimen of multicellular life. It’s as if C. elegans had swum down through the aeons to intersect with an image-making format precisely engineered to express its particular qualities.

This is nuts. Screw RSS, the new web is all about animated GIFs. And they have seemingly been here for aeons. 🙂
Creepy, but very awesome!!
I am ready to go all-GIF, all the time…
