The Hustle and Bustle of Artistic Expression Amidst the Confusiona of Information
Abstract
JAKARTA, KOMPAS — Information technology is becoming increasingly sophisticated. Its spread is rapidly expanding, rendering geographical boundaries increasingly meaningless. However, the swift flow of information is not immediately curated, resulting in a "downpour" of disinformation and misinformation. This phenomenon of conflicting information is depicted in cartoons with a variety of expressive commotion.
Various paradoxes of information are recorded in dozens of works of art at the exhibition “Komunikasih Vs Komunikacau” at the Bentara Budaya Art Gallery on the 8th floor of the Kompas Tower, Jakarta. At the opening of the exhibition, Thursday night (26/9/2024), a repertoire performance of “The Tragedy of Migrating Brains” was also held.
The exhibition, which features 19 artists, will run until October 26, 2024. The exhibition is curated by Frans Sartono and Hilmi Faiq. Meanwhile, the repertoire performance is directed by Putu Fajar Arcana.
