The MAAP Story

MAAP was established to bring focus to "unmapped" new media cultural content emerging from the Asia Pacific regions. MAAP has now grown into an Asia Pacific touring new media art festival and web site resource partnering with key organisations in the region. MAAP will continue regional festivals in Beijing 2002, Seoul 2003, Singapore 2004, and Brisbane 2005 to expand exposure and research in the region. MAAP specialises in showcasing the work of the region's major and emerging new media arts practitioners, creating new networks, introducing the artists and their work to audiences, and increasing cultural contact and understanding through the experience of new media arts. MAAP is the atlas of the new world - the place where culture, art, technology, and the dynamism of the Asia region come together. Now in its 9th year, MAAP has established itself as the Asia Regions pre-eminent new media arts festival. MAAP encompasses 14 countries in the region and is the only new media festival to focus on Australia and the Asia Pacific regions.
