These Spellbinding GIFs Put Greek Statues Into Motion

These classical Greek statues haven't stretched their limbs in centuries — if they're lucky enough to have limbs. But digital artist Zach Dougherty puts these intrinsically solid works of art into motion in his dazzling GIFs

Dougherty stumbled upon these sculptures on a trip to his local museum for a "3D scanning spree." As he told Mashable, he works in the GIF format because he enjoys "the challenge of getting what you want out of a few frames" and the opportunity to experiment
