Chia Amisola

My name is Chia. I work as an artist, designer, and programmer, and make ambiences devoted to the internet's loss, love, labor, and liberation. I dream of gathering all the people I love in one place, and believe the internet could be that place.

My two main engagements:

Developh, an art & research community/institute for critical + creative technologies in the Philippines, that produces art, R&D, and educational programming that I’ve founded & run since 2016 — this is my life's work

Figma, where I work as a Product Designer on Sites & Interactivity, making canvas-based creativity, prototyping, & publishing more beautiful and ubiquitous — this is my 'day job', that I love

I’m an internationally exhibited artist.

I work with hypertext, performance, poetry, and simulations.

everythingi.love: performances, tools, and net art works that reclaim agencies and intimacies on the desktop through performance — this is my 'internet ambient' practice

When We Love: a massively multiplayer online loving game that consists of a Neopets-like dating simulator where you date everything — this is Dwarf Fortress under the feminine gaze

Infrastructures: a tool for experimental making & publishing of hypertexts and internet novels; a new Eastgate Systems — this is the most literary & startup-like
