GRAVITY as the central festival theme will be linking the weightless code of
digital media to the conceptual weight of ideas in a concentrated
examination of New Media Art. This international program explores
underlying themes of GRAVITY - the gravity of real and virtual space, social
gravity, and the ultimate gravity of ideas referenced and linked to the
Conceptual Art movement… and find out why a dead French artist is in an
Asian focused new media exhibition in Singapore in 2004.

MAAP in Singapore has a range of Partner Programs sourcing content from
regional networks with additional exhibitions and screenings managed by
cooperative local venues and collaborators.
