    Description

    GIF WEEKENDER
    A GIF can say more than a thousand words and these moving images are now more popular than ever. Nowadays they pop-up on your screens daily, but are rarely present in an offline environment. This weekend Volkshotel is all about this popular form of digital art that has inspired a new generation of artists to create work and celebrate the comeback of GIF art. A whole weekend full of GIF madness containing a GIF exhibition, a talk by The Hmm and more.

    // EXHIBITION -The GIF That Keeps On Giffing
    The exhibition is hosted by Daniel and Vincent, two friends who have been collecting GIFs for over more than 4 years now. They will show you the best GIFs their archive has to offer, from pop-art to graphic, glitch and cinematographic images. Grab a drink at the bar, wander around and discover contemporary GIF art.

    FAQ

    • I have not received my GIF Weekender ticket via email. What should I do?

      The first thing to do is check your spam/junk filters and inboxes. Your GIF Weekender tickets were sent as an attachment and can be thought of as spam by some email services. Alternatively, you can always find your GIF Weekender tickets in your Billetto account that you can access in the browsers or the dedicated Billetto app. For more help with this, read here.

    • I wish to cancel my GIF Weekender ticket and receive a refund. What should I do?

      The approval of refunds is entirely at the event organiser’s discretion, and you should get in contact with the event organiser to discuss what options are available to you. To get in touch with the event organiser, simply reply to your order confirmation email or use the "Contact organiser" form on the organiser's profile. For more help with this, read here.

    • I have registered on the GIF Weekender waiting list, what happens now?

      If more tickets become available you will be notified (by email) amongst others who have joined the list. Purchasing is on a first-come first-serve basis. For more information, read here.

    • Where do I find a link to an online event?

      Check your order confirmation page or order confirmation email. Usually, the organiser of the event provides the details in the order confirmation email or they might send you a follow-up email with a link to their online event. You might also want to read the event description on Billetto where an event organiser should describe how to join the GIF Weekender event online. For more information on this, read here.
