pearlchain.gif refers to an old version of the YouTube loading icon, which appeared while a video was buffering. As an animated GIF, it loops endlessly, forming a circle like a necklace. It’s a pearl necklace that anyone can have — it’s free to download! But how do you wear it? It doesn’t cling to the body in the way you might expect. The gap between body and digitality doesn’t need to be resolved, but it does raise a question: what is the logic behind it?
Download this pearl chain for free — and wear it! (Hover your cursor over the GIF animation and right-click. Then select “Save image as ...” from the menu that appears to save your new pearl chain.)
