XPLORE 2019: New Media Art Incubation -

New Media Art Incubation this year began with the belief that art can perform as a partner of ecological actions and agent of community changes. Acknowledging the environmental threats and its impact to all species, three young artists explore the way in which our life is related to the environment. In doing so, the artists pay attention to a variety of ecological problems, including pollution, and its effect on public health; city and sanitation; and civilization in regards to the environment.

New Media Art Incubation aims to support emerging artists of the new media art scene in Indonesia and Southeast Asia by equipping them with the skills and networks needed to contribute solutions to current and future challenges. Through a series of mentorship program, the artists discussed ecology and data as its main themes of this year, becoming more aware of the ecological shift towards a sustainable lifestyle and understanding the essential aspect of data in making decision of what is possible in the future. By interpreting and elaborating data from our environments, the artists suggest how the creative endeavour by new media art can contribute to our life
