* This week-long program aims to assemble new media practitioners from diverse background; to discuss common concerns, nurture professional network and instigate collaborative projects. It also serves as an experimental platform for creative and theoretical research presentation that could potentially generate “localized” epistemology - for the articulation of cultural practices that intersect between art, culture, media, technology and capitalism in Malaysia. Various fringe events such as talk, screening, mini exhibition and performance are organized as part of the program. These events are kindly hosted by Malaysian Institute of Art (MIA), Multimedia University (MMU), University Science Malaysia (USM) and Kebun Rupa, Museum and Gallery Tuanku Fauziah (MGTF). An essential part of the program is the collaboration between Networking and Education Department (NVAG) and academic institutions (MIA, MMU, and USM). It is hoped that this collaboration will cultivate a progressive and sustainable breeding ground for future New Media artist.
