Chia Amisola
Chia Amisola is an internet / ambient artist from Manila, Philippines. Their (web)site-specific art is an act of worldmaking constructing spaces, systems, and tools that posit worlds where creation is synonymous with liberation. Ambience functions as a political practice: their work deals with visibility, placemaking, organizing, archives, infrastructure, identity, labor, and ubiquity to radically reimagine our ecologies. Chia is the Founder of Developh, a critical technology institute in the Philippines founded in 2016. They also steward the Philippine Internet Archive, a publishing / research project and series of new media artistic inventions based on the premise that the history of the Filipino internet is a history of Filipino people.
Simply put, they wish to gather all the people they love in one place and build a poetic internet that might be that place.
