Chia Amisola is an artist, product designer, and programmer making more intimate infrastructures.

 

Designing at Figma, directing Developh.

Practice

All my work is devoted to the internet's loss, love, labor, and liberation, especially of the third world experience.

 

I’m interested in the ‘intimacies of infrastructures’ and the ‘labor of tools’, tracing technology’s relationship with agency, ambience, and atmosphere across spaces domestic and divine. I often make sites, tools, performances, lectures, and installations.

Presently, I’m working on hypertexts and software that stretches what internet-native literature might look like.

 

I’m based between New York & Manila.
