Northwest digital art charity folly is delighted to be presenting the f.wish “wishing tree” artwork in Spanish at this month’s Digital Media 1.0 art festival in sunny Valencia, home of paella, Las Fallas fiesta and of world class architecture. The digital art festival and symposium starts today and last until the middle of May.

The online artwork “f.wish” – which involves participants casting their wishes up into a virtual tree – was created for folly by digital art duo boredomresearch in 2006. The Spanish version of the wishing tree that will be available at the Festival is the third iteration of the tree, with one version being kept in a digital art archive at Cornell University that will be maintained in perpetuity.
