[ISEA2002] Artist Statement: W. Christiawan – Performance Lecture #02

Artist Statement

Technology makes our life easier. So, the human can be slaved by technology, but the most important thing is the human who drives behind it. Searching of meaning in hi-tech world makes human more humanize.

Performance Art Concept:
Action Poetry can be viewed as one of contemporary arts belonging to non-representational genre. It does not only come up form subjective conciousness as ideological response toward socio-cultural problems, but also a manifestation of the artist’s interior self-exploration. Action Poetry is unusual activity made up from the usual world. It could be read as multi-interpretable text. Thereby, it takes the risk of becoming “somthing” or nothing at all.
