🤍 internet ambient at gray area last friday 🎶 i've been wanting to perform at ga for so long, what a dream ✮ truly did not expect over a hundred people to come out, listening to me click, lag, stutter, & loop over my desktop, unfolding my screen & its intimacies & all my self fragments from a dozen net art pieces from the last year, performed live & looped & lingered around—tracing new links & lines between one another, hypertext poetry & ambience & endurance & sampling, my body gesturing through countless screens & selves 𝓜𝔂 𝓬𝓸𝓶𝓹𝓾𝓽𝓮𝓻 𝓷𝓮𝓿𝓮𝓻 𝓪𝓼𝓴𝓼 𝓶𝓮 𝓱𝓸𝔀 𝓶𝓪𝓷𝔂 𝓬𝓸𝓶𝓹𝓾𝓽𝓮𝓻𝓼 𝓘 𝓱𝓪𝓭 𝓫𝓮𝓯𝓸𝓻𝓮 An evening of internet ambient at Gray Area, San Francisco on July 26 ☞ program + urls listed at poeticweb.com thank you @exteeng for performing with me, @habitaltruant for believing in my net art, the gray area team (especially andre!), docu by kalo 💫𓃗

i have an interview up on @bombmag 💿🤍 so grateful to speak with @meggmillerr , whose conversations always lead me to find more truth in self & world ⛓️ bombmagazine.org/articles/2024/10/16/chia-amisola-by-meg-miller/ link also in bio! on embodying the browser, performing/inhabiting sites & reading as authoring, writing within data structures, religion & ritual & repetition, and wielding the internet for the filipino struggle last slide me w my bomb tote. 🍥

my useless dungeon, my graphical MUDslop dungeon crawler roguelike gambler party game playtested may 8 at @the_g_a_ll_e_r_y 🌟 curated by @the_dancr_next_door you fight, loot, gamble, play chess, get into relationships, sing, and verb your way to the deepest floor of the dungeon. you are “a player, a gambler; the cybertext is a game-world or world-game” (espen arseth) played entirely with voice control (instead of typing), the piece uses Nvidia’s Parakeet speech-to-text locally: a trivial action like ‘move north’ becomes impossible when your voices compete with friends & passerby, or you’re forced to clearly enunciate and rid yourself of your accent to battle with the parser disrupting the illocutionary act etc.. language models tend towards scale & generality, but MUDs are finite & rule-bound, stretching this dungeon as a space of confinement for you and of language… voice in western games is often barking militaristic commands like this game - but instead of dehumanizing in-game characters, your failure to move, fight, sing makes you vulnerable as the models mishear you, the world kind of resisting the supposed agency it has handed to you (etymology-wise: i also like how the word dungeon originally referred to the most secure place of a castle, and is now a place of underground & torture) all in all, something about the evil trap of language models and the endless friction of wanting to be understood i’ve been wanting to make a more ‘social game’ and hacked this over the past 5 days.. thanks to everyone who tried sorry it was so hard<3 i will continue working on this for irl showings gatherings - i am excited for a multiplayer install (ง •̀_•́)ง

Schwartz Collection 𝒞𝓊𝓇𝒶𝓉ℴ𝓇𝒾𝒶𝓁 𝒞ℴ𝓃𝒸ℯ𝓅𝓉 ⚡🌍🤲💖 Our world is constant stress – a relentless churn of information, crisis, and change. Artists working today must navigate this turbulence knowing that any attempt to capture beauty, truth, or meaning is provisional at best. The tools we use will become obsolete. Social platforms will shift. Political ground will move beneath our feet. To make art now is to accept, from the beginning, that we will fail. Yet failure, when approached with an open heart and an attentive mind, becomes something else entirely. It becomes a practice of attention. A commitment to the process rather than the outcome. And within that process – in the unexpected glitches of technology, the surprising tenderness of algorithmic mirrors, the unpredictable collisions between artist, medium and viewer – something emerges that resists anticipation or control. The artists in the program work at the frontier of innovation, not because they believe technology will save us, but because they understand that new techniques reveal unknown modes of perception. They explore emerging platforms, experimental hardware or software, and hybrid forms that dissolve boundaries rather than merely blur them. Their tools may be contemporary, but their gestures echo backward through time – to early cinema’s wonder at moving images, to the avant-garde’s disruption of narrative, to ancient human impulses to make

snippets of ‘Faker as Religious Experience’, a talk I’ve been writing on @Faker —in honor of his debut 13 years ago today.. i’ve been playing league since 2012 (at the suitable age of eleven) and have watched Faker, probably the most famous video game professional of all time, for more than half my life. i started playing & watching again more regularly since last year and been trying to unpack his figure: his celebrity & political power over the West & China, riot games’ failed experiments.. there is my watching: filipino fans claiming & projecting unto him (maybe because we also dream that our ‘play’ could be invested in), the flattening of athletic beauty onto a screen when the screen is the only version. this is my little parody, obviously riffing off David Foster Wallace’s ‘Roger Federer as Religious Experience’ text i will finish this after i see him in the flesh at LoL Park or at Barclays later this year.. 😭 1. a version about myself & faker – December 19 2025, WordHack @ Wonderville, hosted by Todd Anderson, with Eva Decker and Mark Kleeb: /watch?v=Ov2zyQrAsXs — thank you @toddwords for a space where talks like these are possible 2. a version more on faker – March 12 2026, tiat, with Hatim Benhsain, ​mut/moochi, ​Jackie Liu, ​Everest Pipkin, ​shm garanganao almeda, ​Kaloyan Kolev, Liz Ryerson: /watch?v=REYAyhF7Kcc — thank you @empowa for offering @tiat.place in the middle of GDC for such a perfect evening ~ also at youtube.com/@internetambient
