The Blingee Treasure Trove is an internet artwork by Olia Lialina and Mike Tyka as a tribute to the online GIF creation platform blingee.com. They excavated 440 individual jewel animations from the now closed-down service. Lialina created a colorful multi-layered composition using hundreds of glittering images that dance, flicker, and rotate across the page. Visitors to the site can click, drag, and reorder the sparkling GIFs as they please, freed from the restrictions of Blingee’s own interface.¹
