At Once ( U tren oka)
Curator: Elena Apostolovski, Galerija SKC
Artistic advisor and mentor: Damjan Šporčić, Oblik 3
Production: Petra Bezjak, Hana Barić, Nina Orlović, David Čarapina
Graphics Interchange Format is a digital data format with long history in internet culture and digital content. Developed in 1987, its popularity started growing in 1995 when Netscape Navigator 2.0 allowed looping. Today, it is one of the most used and most viewed video formats on social networks.
GIF is a kind of “haiku” of video, drawing its strength from short duration (that reproduces an isolated moment of a larger narrative) and endless repetition (looping) that allows several levels of meaning in one breath. This symbolic complexity makes it the ideal creative tool for questioning, reaction and satirisation of contemporary society. The exhibition AT ONCE is envisaged as a kind of ambient audio-visual experience that delves into the topic of fear in contemporary context, through works of thirty international GIF animators.
