GIFs can often feel like a visual vortex, an infinite loop of pixelated madness, sucking you closer and closer to your laptop's screen. One artist is taking that sensation to its logical extreme, as his GIFs intentionally strive to suck viewers into a digital whirlpool, comprised of uncanny imagery such as ears, vegetables, and cat eyes.Polish artist Feliks Tomasz Konczakowski is a self-described "unpolished visual artist who probably comes from Mars." His Tumblr is piled high with GIFs and images that can feel hypnotic (or nauseating), depending on how long you gaze into his Photoshopped abysses.While many GIFs inspire the feeling of a never-ending labrinyth or visual purgatory, Konczakowski's stand out due to the image's texture and general mundanity. Prior to seeing these, we had never thought about what it would feel like to dive into a cauliflower—but for some reason that makes perfect sense.According to Cross-Connect, Konczakowski began working with Photoshop five years ago, but only learned how to save a GIF this past year. If these are his results thus far, it’s exciting and almost frightening to think what he’ll create with a little more time and experience.Konczakowski’s full body of work can be found on his fantastic Tumblr.Related:Artists Construct Giant Kaleidoscope Inside Japanese Shipping ContainerMeet The Animator Behind The World Cup's Most Viral Reaction GIFLearn How To Make Stereoscopic GIFs With Mr. GIFTags:GIF, Art, Konczakowski, Photoshop, Psychedelic, Weird
