DISCOV3RY

Ext.Asi Archive is a multimedia installation that explores the circulation of data through information systems. The installation focuses on the theme of discovery by re-visiting, re-reading and re-developing two previous online festivals, Extended.Asia: Asian New Generation (2020) and Extended.Asia: Satellite (2021), previously organised by Extended Asia. With the aim to create a sustainable ecosystem of communities between Indonesia and Singapore, the installation experiments with the use of live virtual performances and hybrid collaborations. This installation is a continuation of Impssblprjct: Affirming the Crisis, organised by the Cemeti Institute for Art and Society in 2021.
