ASEAN New Media Art Competition 2006

 

ASEAN-COCI invites individual/group (visual artist, student, media practitioner, film-maker, media scientist, etc) from ASEAN countries to submit entries to the ASEAN New Media Art Competition.

Theme: Interaction in Cultural Diversity

Within the cultural realm of Southeast Asian region, historical bonds and kinship are usually acknowledged because of the similarities in the people's living tradition: Local beliefs, languages, religion, arts, etc. Such commonalities have been understood in relation to the past cultural landscape and a number of native civilization that shaped the region before the colonial era.

Today, however, the variety of economic, social and cultural roles after the modernization, industrialization and the post-colonial status of the Southeast Asian countries have situated the region in specific circumstances that may not exist elsewhere. The diversity of culture in Southeast Asia is indeed unique. It may be identified as a crossroad between the legacies of people's tradition, historical encounters among different communities within the region itself, and the recent rapid changes due to the social, economic, technological and new global information orders.

One important role played by the recent new media technology is to bridge the differences by providing tools for information exchanges. Technological developments of this kind, especially generated by the use of computers and television, have further given rise to a new model of interaction. However, due to its global compulsion of uniformity, such as in the language and equipments, the new media also threatens to obliterate the diversity in the region.

This competition invites artworks that respond to this problematic situation.

 to maharlika i breathe,

i cannot escape inside the box

were i planted the seed of betrayal and hatred

contemplating the moon

contemplating the mars

watching them on a canopy hole

im always longing for something that is impossible

where i can make a place of my own

a SANCTUARY you may call

a FANTASY place you may say

were my words cannot hurt someone or anybody else

and hearts that dont cry.


from SINAYA i die.

~_pondered_~

dear maharlika,

this is my ssshhhhh new lj account. this kinda be sweet because no one is around to read this... just take a couple of weeks and i will manage this forever....
its kinda hard to have one again but there are certain ways that you have to take out all your hate and desires in one box of nails and polish it with sort of wasting time journal/blog/talaarawan in this world full"fool" of lies.

i never be like someone else.
i never will.
so dont push me to be like her, like her, like her.
i spent most of the time thinking with nothing.
thinking with no one.
lightning some torch and puffed it where they belong.
im the smoke.
im nothing.
im useless.
im hopeless. 

"id rather live with a carcass than to understand a man who suffered and drowned to sorrowful evenings."

mas mabuting magsulat na lang kesa dumaldal dahil wala namang willing makinig... id rather live with pencil and paper and frigging internet shop. yoko rin magkaroon ng friends. dahil mga topak lang ang mangyayari. this is not a newspaper. i dont want to be a lj coool pipol.  pero ok lang din kung basahin ng iba. this is nonsense naman di ba?!


i ponder,
sinaya
