-Philip Intile: a rising senior in high school. He already has his eye on a potential career path: one that loops on and on and on. He’s only 16, but Intile is an artist (known as Pi-Slices in the GIF art world). He’s a GIF-maker and the founder of GIF Artists Collective, a group of digital artists whose “GIF art” was recently spotlighted by Tumblr, the micro-blogging platform that houses much of their work — GIFs of sliding rays of sun, GIFs of brains melting into a slippery pink ooze, GIFs of abstract crystals morphing shape and shifting color.
