All the works on this series is driven and <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> motivated by the authors’s personal experience of practicing meditation, and also <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> by the author’s background as a woman and as a part of minority in Indonesia. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> That background becomes a daily projection on today’s human relationship as a <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> citizen in Indonesia, it’s complex, divergent, tendentious, and intolerant these day. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> This condition of human relationships bring a lot of friction and trouble as a person. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Giorgio Agamben mentioned it as a form of impoverishment of experience. That <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> become the author initial though on this project, that if there is a condition cause <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> by an impoverishment of experience, than the logic to respond this condition is by <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> enrich the condition with experience. The works in this final project offering art as <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> an effort to respond through art’s experience. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Using performance art as the medium, following with video performance, printed <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> works, and performance artefacts that support the main theme on this final project. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The main theme is how art can be seen as a daily activity, art as a ritual, and art <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> as meditation. The concept is how to visualize the meditative value as part in our <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> daily activities on artworks. Meditation is become the vehicle towards self-healing <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> and understanding, body experience, and into a deeper meaning of art and daily <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> activites as body experience on the art practice. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The experience gained by the author through the periodic performance, as an effort <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> to represent daily life and present a holistic experience for the author as an artist, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> as well as for the audience. So art that become food four our soul and spirit, is <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> believed have a power to bring an impact of virtue and able to thrill a waves of a <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> new understanding of consciousness that resonate to a wider society.
