One of the proposed design and configurations
In 2007, a friend of mine asked me to design his company website. Initially, I was only asked to design the website, but after observing and researching the previous website, I suggest to create a logo as corporate indentity. I then designed the logo for his company, and then design the website as one of the implementation of the logo. I am happy to see this company grows and see the logo appears in a variety of events sponsored by this company. In addition, as a customer, I am also quite satisfied with the service provided by this company.

Current implementation and its legal term
‘influx: Multimedia Arts Strategy in Indonesia’ merupakan sebuah pameran seni rupa sebagai bagian dari event DECOMPRESSION #10 – ruangrupa’s 10th Anniversary, perayaan ulang tahun ke sepuluh Ruangrupa. Pameran digelar di Galeri Cipta II, Taman Ismail Marzuki, dari tanggal 7 sampai dengan 27 Januari 2011. Berikut ini kutipan dari buku program acara event tersebut:
Bagaimana hubungan antara seni rupa dengan perkembangan teknologi media, khususnya di Indonesia sekarang ini? Bagaimana seniman menyikapi perkembangan baru di sekitar pokok soal ini? Apakah sebagai sikap ‘estetis’ yang baru, sikap politik seni atau sebuah keniscayaan karena perkembangan teknologi informasi dan komunikasi itu sendiri tak terelakkan oleh siapa pun, di mana pun? Sejumlah seniman, setidaknya lebih kurang dalam dua dekade terakhir ini, dapat ditengarai semakin tampak giat bekerja dengan medium-medium baru, atau katakanlah memasuki gelanggang ‘seni rupa media baru’ di kancah yang semakin global. Apakah media baru akan mengenyahkan yang lama, menggantikannya dan bahkan menggusurnya? Apa kontribusi seniman melalui riset-riset media yang mereka tempuh? Di ranah mana kontribusi para seniman itu berada? Pameran Multimedia Arts in Indonesia (Seni Rupa Multimedia di Indonesia) menunjukkan penampang perkembangan seni rupa di ranah yang jarang diungkap ini dan melibatkan beberapa seniman Indonesia.
How do art and media technology development relate, especially in the context of Indonesia today? How do artists address the newest developments around this main subject? Whether as a new ‘aesthetic’ gesture, as a political art pose, or more as a certainty since the growth in information and communication technology is inevitable to anyone, whoever and wherever s/he is? A number of artists in at least these last two decades could be suspected to be increasingly productive by the utilization of new media, in other words they are entering the ‘new media art’ realm in a more globalized scene. Is new media rendering the old ones obsolete, replacing them, and even obliterating them? What is the contribution of artists given through their media researches? In which realm would these artists’ contributions better serve their function? The Multimedia Arts in Indonesia exhibition presents the cross-section showing the growth of this rarely discovered realm of art and involving Indonesian artists.

The following text is quoted from the program information at Selasar Sunaryo web site:
Title: The Loss of the Real
When: 18 July 2010 – 01 August 2010
The world has become a network of information we cannot escape from. The 21st century has been characterized by the loss of the real. The world has become transparent, yet our reality has shifted, from the object-based reality toward a mediated environment shaped by the global media, i.e.: television, internet and the digital culture. The media connects us once, but finally separated us from ‘the real’, alienated us from people, objects, and other tactile experiences. We communicate through a technological system that human once invented, yet eventually shaped us as a new being: a media creature. In this surrounding, we are loosing our sense of interiority and intimacy as natural being. Can we escape from such situation? Should we passively sustain the circumstance, or can we create something as a response to it?
The Loss of the Real exhibition deals with the recent variety of use and exploration of media technology in the artistic practice. Showing works by artists from Indonesia, Japan, France and Pakistan, the exhibition aims at discussing the very purposive leitmotifs in today’s media art, as a terrain that is free from the linear and progressive history of technological aspects and development, as suggested in the classical dichotomy and debate on the “old” and “new” media. Instead of focusing on the importance of the technological use in the works, the exhibition emphasizes the instrumentality of the messages, as well as aesthetic and social approaches toward the ‘real’ and the ‘imaginary’.
This project as a whole will also present site specific projects, performances, workshop and will be conducted in line with the Expert Meeting of New Media, Civil Society and Environmental Sustainability conducted by the Nu-Substance Festival 2010 which will involve media artists and observer from different parts of the world.
