Open Mik! (Open Meek)

Open Mik! (Open Meek)

A play on the phrase “Open Mic” and the sublime meaning of the word “meek”, filmmaker and activist K. L. Carpio documents the growth of self-taught digital artist—and longtime friend—Mic Comia through their co-shared project Danny & the Magic Doors. Originally conceived, illustrated, and story-outlined by Comia, the work expands under Carpio’s guidance. The project seeks to honour the often-discredited processes of artists and shield them from the effects of the new age of AI development—an age that threatens minorities in the global arts community. Structured into segmented two-minute sessions, it spans four to six years of laboratory work, hybrid meetings, interviews, and forums in art fairs and exhibitions. Ultimately, it lays the foundation of an artistic collective and the belief that no man is an island—a manifesto upheld by Carpio as a visual media practitioner
