Eldwin Pradipta

(Jakarta, 1990)

Eldwin Pradipta born in Jakarta (1990). Graduated from Faculty of Art & Design, Bandung Institute of Technology, majoring in intermedia art studio, currently living and working in Bandung, Indonesia. His work primarily explores video installation and digital projection as media. For him, media art has an interesting position between the distinction of high art and low art. His early works often focus on the subject of populist or low art in Indonesia, in placement and dichotomized with high art objects and praxis. People’s lives also become one of the backgrounds and recurring themes in some of his works. Through such a perspective, Eldwin highlights the divisions and ruptures in the fabric of everyday life in Indonesia as a third-world country. In his latest development, Eldwin focuses on interactive art to re-explore the relationship between the artwork and its audience. This theme asks to what extent influences, other than the artist, can affect the end result of the artwork itself. Along with these series, triggered by the need to use various sensors in his work, Eldwin is also interested in examining the extent to which a machine, computer, or artificial intelligence can have human-like “senses”.
