Soliloquy

2018 - Installation (Installation)

Tromarama


The installation Soliloquy by Tromarama features 96 second-hand lamps scattered around the space like islands or entities left in solitude. Each time the hashtag “#kinship” is used on Twitter, the tweet is converted into binary code, which triggers their switches and creates a symphony of lights. The flashing bulbs transcribe layers of human desire and of individual stories that manifest users’ connections forged across physical and digital realms. This work allows us to reconsider everyday conditions, relationships, reasoning and sensibility in our hyperreality.


The artist collective Tromarama is a Bandung based artist collective founded in 2006 by Febie Babyrose, Herbert Hans and Ruddy Hatumena. The trio met while studying at the Institute Technology of Bandung. Tromarama creates works that combine video, installation, computer programming and public participation depicting the influence of digital media on society’s perception of its surroundings. Channelling language, text, wit, sequence as well as interaction, Tromarama reflects on the cornerstones of Indonesia’s political and cultural environment, and on a form of perceptive engagement in our hyperreality that applies globally. The relationship with language, generally but also especially through the realm of social media, has been an important aspect of Tromarama’s practice.
