Chia Amisola

I’m an artist, designer, and programmer devoted to the internet's loss, love, labor, and liberation.

My practice centers on the ‘intimacies of infrastructures’ and the ‘labor of tools’, imagining technology’s relationship with agency, ambience, and atmosphere across spaces domestic and divine.

At day, I work as a Product Designer at Figma, making websites as ubiquitous as paper. At night, I build for hypertexts and internet literature.

I work between NYC & Manila.
