The concept of Glific is a reversal of contemporary trends in web-based media, whereby the concept of tagging media is reflected back onto itself. Rather than tagging images, video, and content with words like many social bookmarking sites, Glific uses images to tag words themselves. Instead of tagging one photo with a dozen words, one work is tagged with a dozen photos. Using images as tags we then rebuild narratives, news and events by replacing the words in their text.
