CyberSent Pak, Inc. includes artists from Pakistan, or artists that are greatly influenced by South Asian culture and art. The goals in this project are to open avenues for these artists to expose their work, ideas and in the process build confidence and friendship with others beyond the barriers of distance though the venue of cyber technology. Many of the artists also use digital imagery to create their work as well as transfer images of it to the instigator by means of email attachments.
CyberSent Pak, Inc. was an idea formulated by Joan Fabian, Fulbright Scholar and Artist to Pakistan, 2000. Fabian was teaching at the National College of Arts in Lahore, Pakistan and upon her return to the United States she kept in contact with artists and colleagues there using the internet to send images of artwork back and forth. It was also a means to get Pakistani artists to use technology and the Internet. She has conducted lectures throughout Pakistan and recently gave a panel discussion in San Antonio,
Everyone is welcome to visit the website and send the curator an email with comments that will be sent to the artists. The artists in Pakistan will be grateful for dialogue and feedback their art on the internet produces.
The CyberSent Pak, Inc. welcomes new artists to join the group if you are influenced by the culture and art of Pakistan.
