Abstract

This article offers an interpretation of performance artworks that serve as representations of local identity and values in the period of Indonesian new media artists. By emphasizing on local identity, this article seeks to reveal how artists respond to global challenges through artworks while capturing the aesthetics and values prevailing throughout Nusantara (the Indonesian archipelago). Additionally, this research offers an analysis of the timeline and geographic distribution of performers from the standpoint of the growth of new media art. Data were collected using a variety of methods, including observation, interview, and literature review involving both historical archives and literary works. Findings indicate that the two periods of performance art history, i.e. the early era and the digital age, are historically and geographically separated. Even if globalization has affected arts, local identity has never really disappeared during this time; in fact, it is growing stronger. Representations of the archipelago is a sign of the new emerging artists’ presence in the contemporary international art scene. The influence of local identity in artworks, however, is no longer debatable and can reflect an artist's self-identification.

Bahasa Abstract

Penulisan ini mengarah pada pembacaan karya performance art yang memunculkan representasi nilai identitas kelokalan dalam era seniman seni media baru di Indonesia. Nilai identitas kelokalan yang dijabarkan dalam artikel ini bertujuan mengurai respon seniman terhadap isu global melalui kekaryaannya yang tetap merepresentasikan visual dan nilai kenusantaraan. Selain itu penelitian ini memberikan wacana mengenai kronologis dan pemetaan seniman performance art dalam perspektif perkembangan seni media baru. Penelitian ini menggunakan beberapa metode untuk memperoleh data, antara lain: pengamatan, wawancara, observasi (baik secara kearsipan maupun literatur Pustaka). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa secara kronologi dan pemetaan, seniman performance art terbagi kedalam dua golongan: masa awal dan masa digital. Identitas kelokalan tidak pernah absen dalam periode, dan semakin menguat sekalipun globalisasi menghantam ranah dunia seni. New emerging artist menjadikan kenusantaraan sebagai identitas penanda kehadiran dalam kancah seni rupa internasional kontemporer. Bagaimanapun, identitas lokal tidak lagi dipertanyakan kebenarannya, tetapi dapat menjadi citra identitas diri seorang seniman.
