INFINITY

An Adaptation Movement of Garden Indonesia

Every civilization has a tipping point. The pandemic showed us that everything that happens has positive and negative consequences. What comes next? Adaptation is the option to survive. We exist in our cultural environment, in the process of life and in our heritage system. This adaptation is continuously expressed by MAG21 artworks such as Zeitgeist, Sela Selang and Stream show concern for environmental and human behavior in daily life. Urb-Sense introduces the participatory production of a virtual mental map of the city of Jakarta through social distancing. Melting Landscape uses H2O & O2 as symbols of impermanence in life, as humans fear the absence of the internet more than that of air and water. How Do You Taste elevates the chili sauce (sambal) that is usually an Indonesian side dish, to deploy it as a medium. Collective Concession reflects on how contemporary humans interpret a traditional Indonesian game to translate it, through technology, into an interactive installation.
