Championing Filipino artistic geniuses

The works of National Artists for Visual Arts find anew canvas in Globe At Home’s latest devices

- 

Have you ever wished your internet router—with its two antennas poking out from the corner of your house— could become an objet d’art that fits the aesthetic of your home or room?

Imagine no more, as art meets tech with the newest Globe At Home 5G WiFi devices, now available with limited-edition skins featuring the works of Filipino luminaries.

Globe transforms the humble router into a collector’s piece. The device now comes in two sleek base designs— Stone (white) and Blueberry—along with exclusive skins featuring the works of four Philippine National Artists.

This unique collection pays homage to the richness of Philippine art, showcasing iconic works from the country’s most celebrated artists: Vicente Manansala’s “Birdman,” Botong Francisco’s “Pageant of Commerce,” Larry Alcala’s “Barangay,” and “Marahuyo” by Imao x Imao.

In an interview with Manila Bulletin Lifestyle, multimedia visual artist Toym Imao, son of the late National Artist for Visual Arts Abdulmari Imao Sr., shared that the router design featuring his father’s work is a collaboration that blends his own artistic vision with his father’s legacy.
