Artist, academic and new media specialist Fatima Lasay, has devised a
framework to conduct a series of ‘on the ground’ work shops
for artists in the Philippines. MAAP is supporting the first KURO Satellite
‘open source clinic’
KURO are planned as regular satellite gatherings for informal presentation, demo, discussion, and debate, especially for and by people involved in theory and practice of electronic and digital media. KURO satellites basically deal with science and technology issues affecting the creative community and the larger socio-culture sphere. The first KURO satellite will be an ‘open-source clinic’. Succeeding KURO satellites deal with intellectual property rights and the logics of expansion in art and technologies (how “high-techs” marginalize artists).
