These forums aim to trace these practices in the Philippines, across different generations and locations.

The talks are co-convened and organized by researchers in the specific topic, Dayang Yraola and Merv Espina, with a keen focus on Asia in the past decade.

WSK is the first and only annual international art festival dedicated to contemporary electronic, digital, and experimental art. Since its launch in 2009, it has explored the diverse range of cross-disciplinary artistic activities in the context of digital culture and performance with focus in collaborative projects among the Philippines, Southeast Asia and beyond. It aims to blur, deconstruct, and re-imagine the preconceived notions of how art culture and technology diverge, merge, and work together.

WSK 2017 is co-produced in partnership with official venue host De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde, one of the nation’s top colleges pioneering in multimedia and new media arts program.
