cube.gif is an experiment visualizing gifs as 3D cubes by encoding animation time as another spatial dimension. We can then slice the gif cube using a plane, projecting the data back into two dimensions and producing images that capture multiple frames of the original animation.
The above image shows one of these gif cubes. The front left face is the first frame of the gif. Points on the front face of the cube map directly to pixels in the original gif's first frame. The third dimension forwards or backwards from the front face is time. This means that the left face capture the right most pixels of the gif over time.
We can slice through the cube at angle angle to create a new 2d image. The slice plane here is the plane moving towards and away from the camera. Here's the slice of the above animation.
