Back in 2016 Transfer Gallery hosted “Nargifsus” an exhibition organized by artist Carla Gannis and Berlin-based curator Tina Sauerländer exploring the selfie GIF. We covered the show at that time, but we’re revisiting it today because artist LOVID never got the attention they deserved. And this GIF where eyeballs move like flies descending on cyclops deserves the spotlight. Why? Because it’s creepy but also does a good job of visually describing the job of the artist: seeing and making.
