Invitation to Participate:
WEBSINING: PROCESS/YON ON-LINE EVENT

To extend the WEBSINING experience to those who may not be able to participate in the physical Retreat-Workshops, Forums and/or Exhibitions, WEBSINING announces an on-line version of the PROCESS/YON Retreat-Workshops available through the PROCESS/YON website. This on-line initiative offers the opportunity for a broader audience to partake in the creative process of the WEBSINING experience of engaging digital technologies in art-making, while interrogating the implications of such processes on art and society in general.

The PROCESS/YON On-Line Retreat-Workshop involves a reflection on a number of conceptual and philosophical issues surrounding art and technology. The aim is to refocus artistic and cultural attitudes regarding digital technology towards an approach based on technology as an exploratory medium for traditional artistic reflection and research. Through the On-Line Retreat Workshops, we shall reflect upon “process” as the main conceptual context for the computer, and explore how such an approach changes our perspective of the world.

To participate, simply register as a new member through http://websining.net/websining08/

WEBSINING: PROCESS/YON invites all interested individuals to participate in the ON-LINE Retreat-Workshops. Organizations, learning institutions or groups (for example interest groups or formal classes in computer art, art history, philosophy, art theory, social studies, anthropology, computer science, engineering, education, among others) are all also encouraged to participate!

The PROCESS/YON On-Line Retreat-Workshop will begin on January 21, 2008 and will be in continuous development after the Philippine Arts Festival celebrations in February 2008.
