This is an initiative urban campaign project to critize the urban phenomenon of Jakarta. With his colleague, Priyanto under the team called urbVIZ [:studio] or Urban Visualization Studio, Sigit tried to expose some issues and want to stress on some problem in Jakarta as one of megapolitan cities in the world.
Where R Ur Empathies, Jakartans?

Latar Belakang
Fenomena urban Jakarta yang sering kita lihat dan sekaligus rasakan mungkin sudah banyak dijadikan wacana oleh beberapa pihak. Beberapa fenomena urban tersebut kami coba mengangkatnya dalam bentuk media video art. Realita masalah-masalah perkotaan yang banyak terjadi di Jakarta seperti masalah kemacetan, kekurang-empatian warga terhadap sesamanya, penyalah-gunaan fungsi-fungsi dan lain-lainnya cukup menarik untuk diangkat sebagai salah satu bentuk kepedulian kita terhadap kota Jakarta. Kami melihat dan mengamati, masih banyak warga yang kurang peka maupun terlebih lagi kurang peduli akan beberapa masalah yang memang sudah banyak di depan mata. Projek ini merupakan proyek kampanye untuk sedikit menggugah atau istilah kami “menyentil” warga Jakarta bahwa di sekeliling kita banyak masalah-masalah urban yang perlu dicermati, dianalisis bahkan diselesaikan untuk mencapai kondisi yang lebih baik dan ideal bagi semua pihak dan kalangan. Dampak globalisasi juga sangat terasa bagi Jakarta yang cenderung ‘kaget’ oleh budaya baru (budaya luar) yang datang. Banyak penyalah-gunaan bahasa dalam ruang publik, tidak terkendalinya pembangunan lahan dan gedung komersial seperti mal-mal yang menjamur dimana-mana bahkan banyak yang diletakkan di tempat-tempat yang menurut mereka (pengembang) strategis, padahal di tempat tersebut terdapat landmark wilayah tersebut yang hampir tergeserkan porsi keberadaannya. Produk dari proyek ini akan coba ditampilkan dalam beberapa pameran video art atau urban dalam beberapa instalasi yang kami harapkan dapat dinikmati oleh semua warga dan kalangan masyarakat agar dapat memberi sumbangan ide dan pemikiran untuk kota tercinta ini.

Background
The phenomenon of Jakarta urban that we often see and feel has already been a discourse by many elements. Some of that urban phenomenon tries to be raised in the media format of video art. The reality of urban problems happened in Jakarta, for instance: traffic jam, malfunctions of space, less empathies of the Jakarta inhabitants and so on, are very interesting to be discussed as our consideration to Jakarta city. We saw and observed that still so many inhabitants are not sensitive and indeed are careless about all the problems right in front of our eyes. This project are a campaign project that try to arouse or our term is “to snap society’s fingers” that in our surrounding there are still many problems that we need to be sensitive, to analyze and solve to achieve better and ideal condition for every elements in Jakarta. The globalizations effects also can be felt by Jakarta that has a tendencies of shocking by the incoming western culture. Many misuse of language in the public space, uncontrollable of development and commercial building like the mushrooming of big super mall located which they (developer) think that it is strategic, but there is a landmark that it’s meaning already been shifted. The product of this project has already been exposed and presented in some video art and urban exhibitions in some installations that we expect can be watched by the society so that can give a contribution of idea and thought to our beloved city.

> Pedestrian,abc & (dis)Comforts
> re-PUZZLING Bus Shelter (focusing on bus shelter contextuality)
