Time is a deeply personal experience and a highly unpredictable medium. As we strive to conquer time, there are moments when we find ourselves running behind it, and others when we are surprised at an unexpected route it has taken — stretching and compressing on its own whims and fancies. This year, FIG invites you to use the medium of a looping GIF to visualise your experiences with the cycle of losing time and regaining control.

FIG is an ONLINE + OFFLINE exhibit celebrating the power of the GIF. It is a small part of a larger study on the evolving internet expressions of our age – incubated at the EyeMyth Festival 2019, FIG is back for its second edition at the EyeMyth festival ‘22.
FIG is especially thankful to Meeta Malhotra and Steve Lawler. We appreciate them taking the time to speak with us and pick the winners from the incredible entries we received. We are also grateful to Neha Singh, creative director and partner at Quicksand for her guidance.
None of this would be possible without the support of Team EyeMyth!
