[id]Nu-Substance : Resonance yang bertemakan open culture, technology, and urban ecology merupakan sebuah pameran seni visual interaktif yang diikuti oleh para seniman muda yang sebagian besar berasal dari kota Bandung. Diantaranya adalah ; Rizaldi Fakhruddin (Walk), Yusuf Ismail (Natural born contemporary killer), Isha Hening (Slow Mo Smile), Artiandi Akbar dan Kukuh Rizal Arfianto , Sandy A. T. dan Yugie Kertaatmaja ( Frame X unframed), dan lainnya.[/id]
[en]At the beginning of the opening, most of the artists ‘guided’ the guests with a short presentation about each of their works. The creation that drew the most attention is a video collaboration by Sandy A.T. and Yugie Kertaatmaja called Frame X Unframed. It’s formed by five screens that’s shot with a single projector, when usually a single projector only shoots one screen. Sandy (also known as Ate),an artist admitting that he is in a lot of trouble, claimed that this resulted work wasn’t planned at all, in fact, it was made in only 2 hours, a.k.a. an injury time type of work. Yugie then added that the limitation of time was the main drive behind their creativity.[/en]
[id]Pada awal acara dibuka, sebagian dari para seniman tersebut ‘membimbing’ para pengunjung dengan presentasi singkat mengenai karyanya masing-masing. Yang paling menarik perhatian adalah karya video kolaborasi Sandy A.T. dan Yugie Kertaatmaja yang berjudul Frame X unframed. Karya mereka terdiri dari lima buah screen yang ditembak dari satu proyektor, dimana biasanya satu proyektor hanya menembak satu screen saja. Sandy ( atau lebih dikenal dengan panggilan Ate), seniman yang mengaku sedang dalam banyak masalah, mengatakan bahwa karyanya tersebut sama sekali tidak direncanakan dan hanya dibuat dalam waktu 2 jam, alias karya injury time. Yugie menambahkan, keterbatasan waktulah yang memicu kreativitas mereka.[/id]
[en]Another attention-grabbing creation is from Yusuf Ismail, titled Natural born Contemporary Killer. FYI, this work was also accepted at the Oke Video Festival and was exhibited in Galeri Nasional Jakarta (the Jakarta National Gallery).
Besides exhibiting the works of Bandung’s young artists, this event also showed off a 24 hour 1 minute video compilation resulting of the workshop. Nu-Substance Festival will last until October 30, and on the 22nd, there will be a presentation/discussion held for the public.[/en]
[id]Selain karya para seniman muda Bandung, acara ini juga memamerkan video kompilasi hasil workshop 24 hour 1 minute video. Nu-Substance Festival akan berlangsung hingga tanggal 30 Oktober, dan pada tanggal 22 Oktober akan dilangsungkan presentasi/diskusi yang terbuka untuk umum.
Satu lagi yang mendapat banyak perhatian ialah karya Yusuf ismail yang berjudul Natural born contemporary killer. FYI, karya ini juga lolos pada Oke Video Festival dan sempat dipamerkan di Galeri Nasional Jakarta.[/id]
