David Whyte's animated gifs (image 3 & 4) use an open source programming language called Processing, to aid the creation of images, animation, and various computer interactions. His background in mathematics and physics aided his understanding and therefore creation of the motion and geometry used in these popular images.
The minimalistic use of shape and colour emphisises motion and captivates the viewer untill they can muster the strength to break from the images trance inducing effects. whyte is open with his source code and believes in helping other artists achieve similar results.

Thoughts
I would still really like to create a morphing animated gif and these examples show the potential of new digital imaging software. Simple yet effective and the programming language "processing" could be a way of creating a new form of gif imagery that i would like to have a go at.
