ASEUM: The 1st International New Media Art Festival in the Philippines

Promotional poster for Aseum

Truth be told, when this poster was emailed to me, I didn’t quite get what to expect out of the event. I still don’t but the write-up that came with the poster promised that everyone will get to experience what new media art is. Intriguing, eh? It’s fun to feed your curiousity especially if the event is FREE.

” On July 21-25, 2009, SABAW Media Art Kitchen (Philippines) in cooperation with KIBLA MMC (Slovenia) and the Asia-Europe Foundation brings together the largest delegation of new media artists for ASEUM – the first international new media art festival in the Philippines – that kicks off 6:00PM at Gweilos, Makati for everyone to experience what new media art is.
