Here, we officially launch her exhibition, Lasay & fAf's endeavour
to put the spotlight on Philippine digital artists, seismologists
and scientists reiterating the inseparability and interdependence
of technology and the arts.
The ideas, dialogues and messages of the process and works produced
inevitably look into the understanding and direction of cultural
exchange via the Internet.
The ever-diligent Lasay explains: "A lot of people don't understand
or appreciate net art or even research-focused art or collaborative
art that takes on sciences and other fields - even among the digital
artists themselves."

Compos Mentis: Zen-Tripping the Non-Conference Circuitry'. Ngee
Ann Polytechnic's Tristan Chan offers insight into Singapore's censorship
debate.
