28 Mar 2015

Gigglebit is Siliconrepublic’s daily dose of the funny and fantastic in science and tech, to help start your day on a lighter note. Today, feast your eyes on these infinite loops.

We discovered these captivating geometric GIFs by Dutch artist Florian de Looij on the art and design website ThisIsColossal.

As the story goes de Looij discovered Photoshop when he was 12 years old and hasn’t stopped since.

Inspired by M.C. Escher and other artists working with optical illusions de Looij set up his own Tumblr FLRN GIF where there are loads of these beautiful GIFs for your infinite pleasure.

Enjoy!
