Gifs Are A Legit Art Form, And This Festival Dedicated To Them Proves It
If you’re a millennial, chances are GIFs are a part of your everyday communications.
You pepper your conversations with them, whether on WhatsApp or on Facebook Messenger. Reaction GIFs, cute animal GIFs… Whichever is appropriate for the conversation, you’ll drop a GIF for good measure – sometimes, even in place of actual words.
That’s millennials for you.
Whether you’re someone who drops the occasional GIF, or have been told that you’re your group’s resident GIF king/queen, there’s an art festival you’ll want to attend that features – no prizes for guessing – the GIF.
Noise Singapore will be bringing us a festival entirely dedicated to GIFs.: SPELLBOUND.GIF.
Happening from 4 – 11 October, this GIF-fest will take place at Gillman Barracks.
Put together by Noise Singapore and Kult Studios, you won’t find your typical meme GIFs here, but GIFs created by local artists.
While there is currently limited information on what will be going down at this festival, if GIF fest’s Instagram account is anything to go by, we’ll be seeing plenty of hypnotic, trippy GIFs.
These GIFs will be presented in an immersive multi-media exhibition. If you’re expecting this to take place in a traditional art gallery or space, think again. The experience will be more akin to visiting a “night club or space museum”.
https://giphy.com/gifs/eklYH7DYrVIru
A Call For GIFs
The festival is currently calling for GIF submissions.
If you’re lucky, your masterpiece just may be selected to be showcased at the festival, alongside some of the festival’s best GIFs.
Here are some GIFs that caught our eye.

There’s even one inspired by Monty Python (watch it with the sound on)!

The founder of Kult, who is part of the organising team, shared a little peek on what to expect, and it looks set to be pretty mind-blowing.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BYgjHf9jvgR/?tagged=giffestsg
Whether you’re a casual GIF user, or have the tendency to overuse GIFs on the daily, mark these dates down in your calendar. A totally different kind of art exhibition, we have a feeling plenty of awesome ‘gram shots (or boomerangs) will come out of this!

Stylish Owner, Stylish Pet
First off, there will be a Dog Fashion Showcase where human and dog models decked in matching FOURS outfits will walk around, interacting and mingling with guests. An interactive fashion runway, watch these outfits in action – not just on the runway.

The judges will be moving around, seeking out humans and dogs who are dressed according to the various categories.
So, deck yourself and your furry children in your Sunday’s best. Who knows? You and your dogs may just walk away proud winners of one of these titles!
Pooch Race
If fashion ain’t you and your dog’s thing, maybe racing is.
Another highlight at Camp Canine is a friendly Dog Race you can sign your furry little guy up for. All in good fun, dogs of all breeds, ages and sizes are welcome – as long as they can play well with others.

We just cannot get enough of Ben & Jerry’s new ice cream flavors!
This time, their two new flavors remind us of breakfast. Cocoa Loco is a chocolate cereal milk ice cream with crisp chocolate cereal swirls. Frozen Flakes is the normal milk ice cream version of Cocoa Loco, just without chocolate.

8 Corny Pick Up Lines To Use On That Cutie You Spot On Your Next Fun Run
In the past couple of years, we’ve seen many a run grace our little island.
We’ve seen just about everything, from character-themed runs (Pokemon run, Hello Kitty Run, Star Wars Run), to festival-inspired runs (The Music Run, The Color Run), to some… pretty strange runs. Teh Tarik Run, I’m looking at you.
Clearly, Singaporeans love their runs, and with so many different themes to choose from, a boring 5K or 10K can become a lot more exciting – especially with a fun run pack and a nice T-shirt thrown in.
While runs like these offer calorie-burning benefits and all the novelty that comes with the themes, one other benefit of going for these runs is to meet new people – specifically, people of the opposite sex. As they say, love can blossom in strange places, so who are we to stand in its way?
The next time you go for a fun run, save these 8 pick-up lines to use on that cutie you spot running nearby.
1. This is definitely a run, ‘cus you’ve been running through my mind the entire time.
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="500"]3. I’ll let you run ahead of me because I’m chasing the girl (or guy) of my dreams.

4. It doesn’t matter if you don’t win the race, you still take the #1 spot in my heart.

5. This 5K is nothing compared to how far we’ll be walking towards our future.

6. They say The Color Run is the happiest 5K on the planet. I guess it’s true, because I get to meet you.

7. Are you a sprinter? ‘Cus I relay want to date you.
8. Do you run marathons? ‘Cus I would go the distance for you.

Thought some of these were hella cheesy? Well, sometimes, cheesy is enough to get the ball rolling.
The Color Run 2017
Looking for the next fun run you can head to? The Color Run is coming up on 23 September and it promises lots of fun, lots of excitement and LOTS of color.
[caption id="attachment_28760" align="aligncenter" width="1024"]

Unlike previous editions of The Color Run, this year, the happiest 5k on the planet goes nocturnal, and will be taking place at night. Expect to be doused from head to toe in bright, neon colors at each kilometer and see the colors set aglow with your black light headlamp!
You won’t be the only ones glowing in this ultraviolet affair – the color zones and night attractions spread though the neon course will also be glowing bright in the night.
Come dressed in your boldest, brightest neon styles, and find yourself plastered in pretty, glowing color by the end of the night!
Once you’ve finished your run, party the rest of the night away to pumping music and yet more color throws!
