Lorna Mills finds her material in the internet’s strangest corners. She turns found clips, animals, and awkward gestures into looping GIF collages, giving familiar online imagery a strange new life.
The Canadian artist has exhibited since the early 1990s and helped establish the GIF as an artistic medium. In 2016, “Mountain Light/Time” brought an animated sunrise to Times Square’s billboards. Her collaborative project “Ways of Something” reimagined John Berger’s “Ways of Seeing” with more than 100 artists and became part of the Whitney Museum’s collection.
“Did We Winners yet” joins our Flagship Collection, celebrating an artist who continues to change how we look at the internet and what we find there.
