GIFFEST III is Asia’s largest GIF festival that merges Art, Technology, and Social Impact to challenge perceptions and to discuss social topics. This year’s theme, IMPERFECT, uses more than 80 GIFs by visionary local and international creative to highlight the beauty and value of imperfections by delving into diverse perspectives on perfectionism and its impact on society—particularly for an emerging Generation navigating an increasingly digital landscape and AI-enabled world.
An Exhibition of Digital Artworks
Exploring the theme of “imperfect” from both the lens of design and as a social issue, the exhibition invites visitors to consider imperfection an essential aspect of human creativity and expression.
The breadth of incredible digital artworks showcases the richness of GIFs as an artistic medium that merges the world of animation, graphic design, film, and photography, featured in cutting-edge, experiential and interactive formats. These include a motion-activated installation that projects visitors as moving GIFs, an immersive large-scale LED projection and screening nook, and GIF clips displayed on a retro portable DVD player.
