On Wednesday March 10th, at the Netherlands Media Art Institute, artist Evan Roth hosted a workshop as part of Video Vortex #6.  Over 6 hours, participants worked fervently to collaboratively put together a mashup of their favourite animated gifs, resulting in a music video. Participants learned about the open source animated mashup software Roth built, how to search and download animated gifs, and how to put together their own compilations. After a fun day of sharing and showing their favourite gifs, suggesting what order they should go in, and collectively deciding what music to use, and with Roth doing the final editing, the group of 20 participants created this great number:
