INDONESIAN PAVILION—BIENNALE ARTE 2017
Title: We Are Not Alone. Materials (Plexi Glass, LCD Monitor, Internet Connection, Site responsive between two cities in Venice and Jakarta)
The concept that suggested a global network without borders was therefore encouraging. The works were to be digitally connected. “We Are Not Alone”, a kind of mini dome consisting of 1001 hexagrams on acrylic plaques—interconnected at 228 points with LED lamps (a reference to Saturn, where in 1970 signs of life were recorded). An identical installation was created in Jakarta, which should have enabled visitors in Venice and Jakarta to interact by applying digital technology and live video connection. A second work showed blinking eyeballs along a staircase that led to an elevated level where people could peep into what appeared to be the artist’s studio. The eyes along the staircase belonged to people who peeped into the studio.
