No giant shoe. You're saying that the GIFs predated the show as Internet pieces and therefore could "not [have been] made to critique a gallery." But the targets and molecules started out as reflexive objects (photocopy "paintings" and installations), were translated into moving versions that first appeared on the Net and were disseminated as "Net art" before being repurposed as videos that went back, reflexively, into the gallery environment. The quality of the "reflection" changed but the critique has been continuous.
