Vertical Horizon by Wito Wibowo addresses a media scandal in 2010 that took over the cultural milieu of Indonesia. Someone uploaded on a sextape of pop star Ariel Peterpan with model-actress Luna Maya recorded on a mobile phone. Several days later, another video of Ariel Peterpan and Cut Tari, an infotainment news presenter in Indonesia, surfaced on the Internet. This second video taken using a mobile phone in vertical frame but transferred to a computer in default horizontal format. Vertical Horizon zones in on the way viewers unconsciously turn their head horizontally to watch the sensational videos to examine the way mobile phones have changed our lives. The work takes a critical look at both the content of celebrity in contemporary global media and the apparatus supporting this voyeuristic communication.
