KAKAKOMPYUTER MO YAN!
An Exhibition of Filipino Internet Art
About the Exhibit
KAKAKOMPYUTER MO YAN! (“that’s what you get for using the computer!”) is an exhibition of internet art created by Chia Amisola in collaboration with twenty Filipino artist. Its ‘songs’ are represented as various artworks: an elegy for Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz and St. Peter, a shrine to Onel de Guzman, a simulated torrent client, to data center mythologies.
These counter-narratives articulate an online third-world. From exploitation, to queerness, to appropriation, to bootlegging, many of these stories would not have been possible without the internet. Contained within the karaoke machine, the internet becomes an urgent medium for works that speak to its potential for resistance.
Chris Fussner, curator of ArtFairPH/Projects 2022 helped organize this exhibit’s edition for Art Fair Philippines 2025.
