Road to WAMO 2023

October and November Events — Leading up to WAMO 2023 in Chiang Mai

Before WAMO 2023 Chiang Mai, a series of Road to WAMO activities are scheduled, aimed at spreading the WAMO spirit in Chiang Mai.

These events will include academic conferences, Southeast Asian social technology topics, creative writing camps, global digital art group exhibitions, and more. Specifically, the goal of these events is to explore how technological updates change social structures similarly to the Age of Discovery. We’ll also delve into the impact of creative expressions, such as art and writing, on our thoughts and perspectives, akin to the transformative influence of the Renaissance*.* Ultimately these discussions provide more imagination for WAMO 2023 Chiang Mai.

The Road to WAMO features both online and offline events merging humanistic arts with Web3 technologies. These events serve as a social experiment, exploring new ways of working together in the digital age, all guided by the principle of positive externalities.

On the road to WAMO, we focus on:

  • Collaborative future: Ecological innovation with tools
  • Reality rush: Decentralized production era
  • Inquiring Asia Pacific: Tech life and social practice
  • South Seas culture: Artistic presentation of real-life
