interests lie in creation, design, and research-based production towards
the imminent intersections of art and technology. Merging and promoting
culture centric media in the Southeast Asian region with information
and communication shared via modern electronic media. Its headquarters,
locally known as the Terminal Garden is located at Shaw Boulevard,
Mandaluyong, Metro Manila, Philippines, serves as an event venue, work
lab, hacker space, and a temporary homestay for visiting artists and
performers. The name SABAW was derived from the Tagalog word sabaw which

and science in the form of visually appealing art installations and
functions that not only feeds the mind but also feeds the soul.
