Making Images Talk: writing inside the poetic web.

Date: December 5 2025

Hybrid Event: Zoom and In-person at the Collaboratory

Instructor: Reg Beatty

This workshop will examine the practice of Philippine-born internet artist Chia Amisola, their approach to creating work for the web, as well as their multi-layered browser-based performances. 

We will then follow a number of tutorials that Amisola has posted recently. These give unique insights into their procedures and thinking and suggest new directions for anyone interested in pursuing ‘the poetic web.’

Amisola wants us to see the internet, and our lives online, in a different way. In their own words, “Chia Amisola is an artist of agencies and ambiences. Their work is devoted to the internet’s loss, love, labor, and liberation.”

This workshop does not require previous knowledge of making web pages and can act as an introduction.
