Based in New York, art director Kevin Weir has created a Tumblr Blog called Flux Machine, which showcases historical photos which have been transformed into animated GIFs.
Each animated GIF is humorous and surreal, like a giant chameleon eating up a small boat while resting on a ship, or a general brushing bird poop off his shoulder.
Cheeky and irreverent, these alterations take away the solemnity of these photos, and urge us to examine these photographs more closely.
View the rest of these bizarre works below.
