Contextual Art : The Steemit FootpathsteemCreated with Sketch.

“Franklin’s Footpath”
by Gene Davis (1972)
Philadelphia, USA.

There are two types of digital canvases in a Steemit post - the thumbnail that acts as a billboard and the body that contains your narrative.

Inspired by the playful public art project; "Franklin's Footpath" - I made this animated gif sketch (below)... a colorful linework animation that reflects the proportions of the thumbnail and post-body. The speed of scrolling down matches the pace of linework en-loop. As the colorful lines reach the end and fill the screen the gif begins again.

The width and length of a Steemit post is defined in dimension by the size of your screen and scrollbar. As an experiment, I want to begin thinking about how artists on this platform can create art for Steemit by incorporating site-specific restraints and ideas. I hope you enjoy!

Thanks @opehliafu! I'm very excited about this. There are some big ideas brewing... (stay tuned!)
