Tromarama

Graduates of Institut Teknologi of Bandung, Babyrose, Hatumena and Hans met in a music video workshop where they conceived ‘Serigala Militia’ (2006) for Seringai's track of the same title and established Tromarama, referencing the “traumatic” experience of making hundreds of woodcut plywood boards.{{cite web|title=Panoramix|url=http://artasiapacific.com/Magazine/WebExclusives/TromaramaPanoramix|website=ArtAsiaPacific}}

Engaging with the notion of hyperreality in the digital age, Tromarama specialises in developing inventive responses to contemporary urban culture spanning multiple media – from stop motion animation and video art to installations and lenticular prints.{{cite web|url=http://www.leapleapleap.com/2016/06/tromarama-i-dont-know-what-im-doing-and-why-i-keep-doing-it/|title=Tromarama: I don’t know what I am doing and why I keep doing it|date=23 June 2016|website=LEAP}} Fleshing out the element of play and humour in everyday life, each work infuses the ordinary with novel means of contemplation in the context of urban Asian cultural environment and political reverberations.{{cite web|title=Tromarama|url=http://edouardmalingue.com/artists/tromarama/|website=Edouard Malingue Gallery}}

In 2016, Tromarama's installation ‘’Private Riots’ (2014–2016) – a monumental structure composed of flash sequence video and protest banners – was selected for the Encounters section of Art Basel Hong Kong curated by Alexie Glass-Kantor.{{cite web|url=http://theartnewspaper.com/multimedia/video/1/201649/|title=What is Encounters?|date=23 March 2016|website=The Art Newspaper}} Other notable solo exhibitions in recent years include its debut in the UK (2016) curated by Ying Tan in collaboration with Edouard Malingue Gallery and Open Eye Gallery as part of the Liverpool Biennial fringe programme{{cite web|url=http://www.getintothis.co.uk/2016/06/liverpool-arts-diary-july-2016/|title=Liverpool Arts Diary – July 2016|date=28 June 2016|website=Getintothis}} and ‘Panoramix’ (2015) at Edouard Malingue Gallery in Hong Kong.{{cite web|url=https://www.artsy.net/article/artsy-editorial-indonesian-artist-trio-tromarama-develop-realities-for-the-digital-age|title=Indonesian Artist Trio Tromarama Develop Realities for the Digital Age|date=19 January 2016|website=Artsy}}
