Born from R&D work at GIPHY, Infinite Objects believes that video should be appreciated the same way posters, prints, and photographs have been for centuries — not just trapped in our phones and laptops. So, we created a new way to sell, own, and live with video.
An Infinite Object is a non-updateable display forever looping a single piece of content – what we call a video print. No apps, no fussy configuration. Infinite Objects hold up to 24 hours of video playing in a perpetual loop, delivering the same experience as art prints or photographs, in a beautiful 7” display.
We’re building novel and compelling ways to elevate video —whether that be new media art, popular culture, or user-generated content. Join us in ushering in a new era of how we buy, sell, and experience moving images.
