| Summary: | Marijuana or cannabis is an annual flowering plant of the Rosales botanical order,
which currently grows wild in various parts of the world, thriving in various types
of soil in countries ranging from temperate to tropical climates. Marijuana contains
a psychoactive compound called tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which induces
effects such as euphoria or altered perception. Indonesia is one of the countries
that still prohibits its use in any form, except for research and scientific purposes
as stated in Indonesian legislation and regulation concerning narcotics. This
restriction correlates with the limited scientific knowledge about the marijuana
plant in Indonesia, leading to overlapping information regarding the factual nature
of the plant, both in favor and against, causing losses and chaos that divide social
groups in Indonesian society.
In the practice of sound art, which explores the phenomenon of contradictory
information about the marijuana plant in Indonesia, this overlapping phenomenon
is categorized as a sound collage phenomenon. It involves the practice of
manipulating sounds by combining two or more sound recording pieces into a
harmonious sound composition. The concept of sound collage is also known as
sampling, often used by Hip-Hop musicians (DJs) in their creative processes.
However, information commonly found in Indonesia tends to be negative (against)
regarding marijuana.
Therefore, the research as the final project aims to explore information on the
positive (pro) aspects of marijuana, which is rarely found in Indonesia. This is
presented in the form of a sound collage, appropriating songs with lyrics that
support marijuana. Sound art, as a medium, transforms contradictory events to
create soundscapes of marijuana celebration. The creation of sound art aims to
manifest how marijuana can be something to be celebrated, as an appreciation or
gratitude for its existence, rather than something that divides social groups. The
celebration of marijuana is represented by a disco ball.
