Embark on a transformative exploration into the future of creative expression with EyeMyth, India's premier independent media arts festival. For over a decade, EyeMyth has championed NextGen storytelling from the Global South, evolving into a vital movement that platforms plurality, showcases emerging genres, and connects visionary creators with groundbreaking projects from across the world through impactful festivals, residencies, and workshops. We delve deep into industry trends and storytelling practices, shining a light on crucial creative tech economies that nurture talent navigating the space between mainstream and emergent art forms.

This year, EyeMyth unfolds as a multi-layered experience, inviting you to journey through three distinct thematic days:

Day 1: Media Arts in India: A Local-Global Symposium The festival kicks off by examining the vibrant and evolving landscape of media arts within India and South Asia. This local-global symposium will foster critical dialogues, explore unique regional narratives, and unpack the opportunities and challenges facing creators in this dynamic ecosystem. Engage with thought leaders and practitioners as we map the currents shaping our creative industries. EyeMyth 2025 welcomes an exemplary delegation of experts from Switzerland and Australia across the worlds of performance, immersive arts, curation and festivals. 

Day 2: Generative Futures for Media Arts Dive into the exhilarating and complex world of emergent technologies with a special focus on Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen-AI). We will explore the profound impact of Gen-AI on creative practices, amplifying unique perspectives from India and the Global South. EyeMyth offers a vibrant and secure space for artists and thinkers to engage in discourse and experimentation, fostering novel and critical approaches. Prepare to be challenged and inspired by provocations touching upon Responsible AI, Cultural AI and Performative AI, as we collectively navigate the ethical implications and shape the future of human-machine artistic co-creation.

Day 3: Worldbuilder: Imagining NextGen Entertainment: The final day introduces ‘Worldbuilder’, a pioneering new platform singularly focused on the art and technology of crafting fictional universes using Unreal Engine. Powered by Epic Games, this pan-India event series premiering at EyeMyth aims to empower a new generation of Indian creators to design breathtaking, interactive, and next-generation experiences across media, entertainment, and gaming. Join us for a symposium dedicated to exploring the creation of Virtual Worlds (video games, virtual production), Immersive Worlds (AR, VR, MR), Transmedia Worlds (music videos, live performances), and Generative Worlds (procedural design in game engines).
